The new Entry/Exit System (EES) will start operations on 12 October 2025. European countries using the EES will introduce the system gradually at their external borders. This means that data collection will be gradually introduced at border crossing points with full implementation by 10 April 2026.

We are proud to announce a significant expansion of our flight network in cooperation with Jet2.com, the leading British tour operator and airline that brings the largest number of British tourists to Croatia. Following the company’s successful return to Pula, the trend of increasing passenger numbers and destinations continues, confirming Istria’s status as a highly sought-after aviation destination in the UK market.

After Jet2.com successfully operated three key routes this year—Birmingham, London Stansted, and Manchester—we are optimistic to announce an expanded offer for the 2026 season, resulting from continuous interest and strengthened ties with Great Britain:

  • New Route: London Gatwick – Pula (As part of Jet2.com’s strategic base expansion at London Gatwick, a new route to Pula will operate on Saturdays from May to October 2026.)
  • New Route: East Midlands – Pula (An exclusive route that will operate on Sundays from May to October 2026.)

“The return of Jet2.com after a four-year hiatus (ending in 2020) and the immediate expansion of routes are clear indicators of confidence in Pula Airport. This confirms the strategic importance of Istria and our destination management, especially in the context of the memorandum of cooperation signed between the Croatian National Tourist Board (HTZ) and Jet2.com. Establishing regular traffic and continuously increasing capacity are key to strengthening Croatia’s position in the British market. This stable growth trend will result in a total of 5 routes to Pula next season,” says Nina Vojnić Žagar, Director of Pula Airport.

Tickets for the new flights are available on the carrier’s official website, and Pula Airport eagerly awaits the first passengers on these new routes.
