United Airlines announced yesterday an expansion of its seasonal route from Dubrovnik to New York/Newark, which will begin three weeks earlier, starting on May 2, 2025, and will increase from four times a week to daily flights. With this increase, there will be twice as many available seats on flights in 2025.
“We are excited to announce the expansion of our seasonal service from Dubrovnik to New York/Newark for the summer 2025 season, allowing our customers in Croatia to book their next trip to the U.S. even earlier,” said Marcel Fuchs, United Airlines' Director of International Sales. “Our daily service from Dubrovnik will offer passengers more travel options and the ability to connect seamlessly through our New York/Newark hub to 58 destinations across America.”
This significant increase is the result of long-standing efforts and negotiations with United Airlines. “Through long-term collaboration and continuous investment in service improvements, we have achieved a significant step that will benefit both Ruđer Bošković Airport and the entire destination. In addition to being the only airport in Croatia with a direct connection to the U.S., we are honored that the increase in flights on the Dubrovnik to New York/Newark route is part of the largest international expansion in the history of this airline,” said Viktor Šober, Director of Ruđer Bošković Airport.
