Aegean Airlines has been expected to connect Dubrovnik with the Greek capital from early July, but now comes news that the airline has postponed flights until September. In what is yet another body blow for Dubrovnik’s tourism industry, and with direct international air connections difficult to attract, Aegean Airlines has stated that they will postpone flights operations between Dubrovnik and Athens until September 3, reports EX-YU Aviation.

The airline had planned flights not only to Dubrovnik but also Zagreb and Split, but now these have all been pushed back until the beginning of September, making for a very short tourist season.
