The summer flight schedule at Zadar Airport began on Sunday, March 30, 2025, with Ryanair’s departure flight to Dublin at 06:40, while the first arrival was at 07:40 from Prague.

This year, Zadar will be connected to 75 destinations, including 71 international routes and 4 domestic routes – Zagreb, Pula, Rijeka, and Osijek. There are a total of six new routes: three new Ryanair routes to Bari, Bratislava, and Rome; one new route by easyJet to Lyon; and two new airlines – Arkia with flights to Tel Aviv and Edelweiss with flights to Zurich.

In 2025, Zadar Airport expects passenger traffic to increase by 3 to 4 percent compared to last year. Given the ongoing construction works on the new terminal building, such growth is considered optimal.

The former departures building has been demolished, and construction of the new facility is underway, so passenger handling has been organized accordingly. The former non-Schengen departures area has been converted into a Schengen departures area, and the so-called Facility C has been arranged with five additional departure gates. This is a temporary tent structure equipped with all necessary facilities and is larger in area than the previous departures terminal.

All non-Schengen arriving passengers will be transported by bus to the arrivals area, which represents the safest and most efficient solution, while passengers arriving from Schengen destinations will be guided to the terminal building to the designated gates. This passenger handling arrangement will remain in place until the completion of construction works, planned for the start of the 2026 summer flight schedule.
