A recent article in the Croatian Times (Seaplanes to connect Adriatic towns with nearby islands) reports that European Coastal Airlines will begin linking Split and Dubrovnik with Korcula, Hvar, Vis, Lastovo, and other nearby islands. The airline, which is a German-Croatian venture, also plans to connect the northern Croatian cities of Rijeka, Pula, and Zadar with Mali Losinj and Rab. The first flights could begin as early as this summer and connections between other Croatian cities and islands will hopefully follow. We’ll be sure to follow this story and try to provide more information once the airline officially launches its service.
