Low cost carrier Transavia is set to record one of the sharpest reductions in flights and capacity across the former Yugoslav markets next summer. The Dutch unit of Air France – KLM’s low cost subsidiary is withdrawing from four routes, ending services from Amsterdam to Ljubljana, Skopje and Split, as well as from Eindhoven to Rijeka. As a result, the airline will scale back its regional network to just four routes, all operated from Rotterdam. Flights to Pula will continue five times per week during the peak summer period, while services to Zadar will be maintained three times weekly, at the same rate as in 2025.

Furthermore, during the peak summer travel period in June, July and August, the carrier will also reduce frequencies from Rotterdam to both Split and Dubrovnik. Each route will lose one weekly rotation, with services to Split maintained seven times per week and those to Dubrovnik reduced to two weekly flights.

Among the discontinued routes, Transavia’s service to Skopje will have lasted just a single season. In Ljubljana, the withdrawal follows KLM’s entry into the market this summer, with the Dutch flag carrier set to double frequencies to the Slovenian capital next year, increasing services from seven to fourteen weekly, or if the Transavia flights are included from ten to fourteen weekly. Meanwhile, operations between Eindhoven and Rijeka will come to an end after eight years, with the coastal city having been the first destination in Croatia to be served from Eindhoven Airport.

During the 2026 summer season, Transavia will operate a total of 648 operations to markets in the former Yugoslavia, offering 122.472 seats. This represents a decrease of 51.5% in the number of operated flights and a reduction of 53.5% in capacity. Overall, the airline will shed 139.980 seats year-on-year. Transavia will see leadership change this coming February with a new CEO to take over. The airline has said the appointment will mark “the next step in targeted growth, the expansion of its European network and the transition towards a quieter and cleaner future”.
