Wizz Air adds Zadar to Warsaw Chopin summer network

Wizz Air is expanding its summer 2026 schedule from Warsaw Chopin Airport with the launch of a new direct service to Zadar, marking the Croatian coastal city’s debut as a Wizz Air station.

The four-times-weekly seasonal route will commence on 9 June 2026, operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer peak. One-way fares start from PLN 159, with tickets already available via the airline’s digital channels.

Strengthening Warsaw’s leisure offering

The addition of Zadar reinforces Wizz Air’s summer leisure portfolio from the Polish capital, responding to sustained demand for direct, low-fare Mediterranean services. The route will be operated using the Airbus A321neo, aligning with the carrier’s strategy of deploying next-generation narrowbody aircraft to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Zadar becomes a new station within Wizz Air’s expanding Central and Southern European network, underlining the airline’s continued focus on Poland as a core growth market.

In 2025, Wizz Air operated more than 26,000 flights from Warsaw Chopin, carrying close to six million passengers. The airline also reported a 13.9% improvement in on-time performance in the city year-on-year.

Expanding footprint in Poland

Across Poland, Wizz Air currently operates 235 active routes to more than 30 countries, serving 12 airports — including six operational bases — with 43 aircraft stationed in the country in 2026. Holding a 26% market share, the airline ranks as Poland’s second-largest carrier and plans to offer over 20 million seats this year.

Passenger numbers in Poland surpassed 15 million in 2025, representing 20% year-on-year growth and bringing cumulative traffic since launch to over 131 million.

Zadar: Adriatic appeal

Located on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, Zadar blends Roman and Venetian heritage with a contemporary waterfront known for installations such as the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun. The city also serves as a gateway to nearby islands, Adriatic beaches and several national parks, positioning it as a strong draw for both short breaks and extended summer holidays.

The new service forms part of Wizz Air’s broader strategy to stimulate demand through competitive pricing while maintaining operational efficiency under its Customer First Compass programme.
