Wizz Air is significantly expanding its operations on the Adriatic coast with the launch of three new routes from Rijeka Airport to major Polish cities, starting 9 June 2026. The expansion strengthens leisure and VFR (Visiting Friends & Relatives) connectivity between Croatia and Poland—two markets with steadily growing travel demand.
✈️ New Route: Rijeka – Gdańsk (2x weekly)
Operating twice weekly, Wizz Air will connect Rijeka with the Baltic port city of Gdańsk.
- W61737: 6:30 Gdansk – Rijeka 8:25
- W61738: 13:15 Rijeka – Gdansk 15:30
✈️ New Route: Rijeka – Katowice (3x weekly)
The industrial and cultural hub of Katowice will soon be linked to Rijeka with three weekly flights, offering more flexibility for summer travel.
- W61257: 15:45 Katowice – Rijeka 17:10
- W61258: 17:45 Rijeka – Katowice 19:10
✈️ New Route: Rijeka – Lublin (2x weekly)
Eastern Poland’s historic city of Lublin will receive direct service to the Adriatic twice per week.
- W62171: 11:15 Lublin – Rijeka 13:00
- W62172: 9:00 Rijeka – Lublin 10:40
🌍 Strengthening Regional Mobility and Summer Tourism
With these three additions, Wizz Air enhances Rijeka’s international accessibility and supports Croatia’s tourism industry during its busiest season. Polish demand for Croatian coastal destinations continues to rise steadily, and the new routes offer affordable, direct access for holidaymakers, while also giving Croatian passengers a gateway to multiple Polish cultural and urban centers.
The Summer 2026 schedule underscores Wizz Air’s commitment to expanding connectivity across Central and Eastern Europe, further integrating key cities through efficient point-to-point travel.
Wizz Air has also received slots for flights between Warsaw Chopin and Rijeka, but is yet to schedule the service.
