Katowice Gets a New Adriatic Link for Summer
Wizz Air has confirmed a new direct service linking Katowice with Dubrovnik as part of its summer 2026 programme. The route is scheduled to start on 23 July 2026 and will operate twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays. It forms part of the airline’s largest summer schedule ever at Katowice Airport, reinforcing the carrier’s focus on leisure travel from southern Poland.
Alongside the Dubrovnik launch, Wizz Air is increasing its summer capacity at Katowice Airport. During the season, the airline will base eight aircraft at the airport, including six Airbus A321neo and two A320ceo aircraft. This aircraft mix enables a higher number of seats and extra services on routes with consistently strong leisure demand, particularly for short breaks and summer holidays.
“We are pleased to announce an exciting new summer route from Katowice to Dubrovnik in Croatia, giving travellers in Silesia region an affordable and convenient way to reach one of the Adriatic’s most iconic destinations. This launch is part of our largest-ever summer schedule from Katowice, with more routes, increased frequencies and the highest seat capacity we have ever offered from this airport. With eight aircraft operating from Katowice this summer, including six Airbus A321neo and two Airbus A320ceo aircraft, we are expanding choice and flexibility for customers travelling to the destinations they value most. Let’s WIZZ, Katowice!"
Tickets for the Dubrovnik service are already available through Wizz Air’s sales channels, with one-way fares starting at 109 PLN. The airline’s summer 2026 programme at Katowice covers 36 routes serving destinations across Europe. Several leisure routes are being introduced or expanded, adding more options for travellers flying out of the Silesian region.
What becomes easier to reach
- Dubrovnik’s historic Old Town and Adriatic coastline
- Weekend city breaks along the Croatian coast
- Summer leisure routes including Italy, Portugal and the Balkans
- Short-haul holiday destinations served more frequently
These additions improve access to established tourist centres while supporting flexible travel planning during the peak season.
For people flying out of southern Poland, the expanded schedule points to a busier but more connected summer ahead. More direct routes reduce reliance on transfers and make shorter trips easier to plan around limited time off. As airlines continue to concentrate capacity on leisure-heavy markets, Katowice’s growing network reflects how regional airports are becoming stronger starting points for seasonal travel across Europe.
