Four weekly summer flights from Warsaw Chopin to Croatia mark Zadar’s debut as a Wizz Air station<_o3a_p>

Wizz Air, the largest airline by market share in Central and Eastern Europe and the one that carried nearly 15 million Polish passengers last year, today announced the launch of a new direct connection from Warsaw Chopin Airport to Zadar, Croatia. The new route will start on 9 June 2026 and will be operated during the summer season four times weekly. Tickets are now available on the wizzair.com and via the WIZZ mobile app. Fares start from PLN 159 for a one-way flight*.

The launch of the Zadar route marks an important milestone for Wizz Air, as Zadar becomes a new Wizz Air station. This development underlines the airline’s long-term commitment to growth across Central and Southern Europe, while also strengthening its presence in the Polish market by expanding affordable travel options and improving connectivity for passengers travelling from Warsaw and the surrounding region.

The new service to Zadar further strengthens Wizz Air’s summer leisure offering from Warsaw and responds to strong demand for direct, low-fare holiday routes. With convenient flight times and attractive fares, passengers can now enjoy easier access to one of Croatia’s most popular Adriatic destinations.

Zadar is one of Croatia’s most distinctive coastal destinations, combining heritage, culture and Mediterranean charm. The city is known for its atmospheric old town, Roman and Venetian landmarks and vibrant waterfront, home to the iconic Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun installations. Visitors can also discover highlights such as St. Donatus Church, the Roman Forum and St. Anastasia’s Cathedral, while enjoying local Dalmatian cuisine, fresh seafood and lively restaurants and cafés. With easy access to nearby islands, national parks and Adriatic beaches, Zadar is an ideal choice for both short breaks and longer summer holidays.

The new route will be operated by Airbus A321Neo aircraft, which represents the state-of-the-art in aeronautical engineering. Wizz Air’s fleet in Poland – one of the youngest in the world and predominantly composed of Airbus A321neo aircraft – ensures a superior onboard experience, delivering reduced fuel consumption, greater efficiency, and enhanced passenger comfort*, while reaffirming the airline’s commitment to efficiency and decarbonisation.

Wizz Air continues to strengthen its presence in Poland and expanding affordable leisure travel from Warsaw Chopin Airport, including the new route to Zadar in Croatia. With 67 routes from Warsaw to 27 countries, Wizz Air offers passengers a broad and growing network of holiday and city-break destinations, with particularly strong demand for Mediterranean travel and a wide selection of routes to seaside and sun destinations across Southern Europe. From Warsaw Chopin, travellers can choose from numerous attractive leisure options, including popular destinations in Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Malta, Iceland and more, making the airport an important gateway for low-fare summer travel from the Polish capital and surrounding regions.

In 2025 the airline operated over 26k flights from Warsaw Chopin, welcoming almost 6 million booked passengers. Wizz Air also improved its operational KPI in the city last year, with an on-time performance rate increased by 13.9%.

Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, said: “We are delighted to launch a new direct route from Warsaw Chopin Airport to Zadar, giving travellers in Poland even more low-fare options for their summer holidays. With convenient access to one of Croatia’s most popular coastal destinations, the new service strengthens our leisure offer from Warsaw, while also marking an important step for our network as Zadar becomes a new Wizz Air station. We can’t wait to welcome passengers on board this summer. Let’s WIZZ, Warsaw!”

Actually, Wizz Air operates a total of 235 active routes in Poland to more than 30 countries, serving 12 airports, including six bases, and basing 43 aircraft in the country this year. As the second-largest airline in Poland by market share (26%) in 2026, the airline will offer more than 20 million seats this year (over 152.3 million since the start of operations). Passengers booked last year exceeded 15 million (+20% year on year), bringing the total to more than 131 million passengers since the start of operations in Poland.

This new route reflects Wizz Air’s commitment to providing affordable travel and strong value for money. It also aligns with the airline’s Customer First Compass program, which focuses on low fares, flexibility, and a smooth, comfortable travel experience.
