As summer draws to an end, many of us may be feeling the blues, but fear not, London Stansted has some exciting news to lift everyone’s spirits with five new routes taking off this autumn.

After returning to the airport earlier this year, British Airways has started flights to Split (Sept 7), offering affordable fares and convenient flight times to Croatia’s second largest city.

While Ryanair, London Stansted's largest airline, is expanding its network this winter with flights to Reggio and Linz in October, Dubrovnik and Sarajevo in November.

Split, Croatia - BA CityFlyer will operate weekly flights to Split using Embraer 190 aircraft with Club Europe and Euro Traveller cabins. Located on the Dalmatian coast, the city offers a blend of history, culture and natural wonders. Flights will operate every Saturday, departing from London Stansted at 12.55 and arriving in Split at 16.20. The return leaves Split at 17.05 and arrives in Stansted at 18.45.
Linz, Austria - From October, Ryanair will operate a twice-weekly service between London Stansted and Linz. Located in northern Austria, Linz is the country’s third largest city, and is not currently served by direct flights from the UK. Linz will join Ryanair’s existing services from Stansted to the Austrian cities of Klagenfurt, Salzburg and Vienna.
Reggio, Italy - Ryanair will fly on Wednesdays and Sundays from October to the city which is in the southwestern Italian region of Calabria. It is often called the best kept secret of Italy, with Reggio Calabria making for an ideal base for exploring the rest of the region.
Dubrovnik, Croatia - Starting in November, Ryanair will operate twice weekly flights between London Stansted and Dubrovnik on Wednesdays and Sundays. This is one of Croatia's most visited destinations and is referred to as the Pearl of the Adriatic.
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Flights to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina will operate on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays from November. This vibrant and historical city is located in the heart of the Balkans.

Stansted is already known for its extensive European route network, and these new flights will only strengthen it further. With over 190 destinations across Europe, Middle East and North Africa the airport truly offers something for everyone.

Neringa Ohrstrom, Head of Brand & Marketing at London Stansted, said: "We are thrilled to announce these new services from London Stansted this winter. We understand the importance of providing our customers with a diverse range of destinations to choose from, and these new flights do just that.
