British Airways planes will fly from London to Dubrovnik and back
three times a week, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, until
October 31.
The company's representative for Croatia, Mirjana Dostal, said that
all flights were booked and that some 13,000 British tourists were
expected to visit Dubrovnik by the end of October. A possible winter
timetable will be known in July, she said.
British Airways cancelled its Zagreb-London line on 13 September 2003
due to negative trends in air transport and a general economic crisis.
The company announced at the time the introduction of a
London-Dubrovnik line in March 2004.
