Budget airline Ryanair has announced a new route from Newcastle Airport to Zadar in Croatia.
Tickets are now on sale and weekly flights are set to begin in July as part of the airline's Summer 2021 schedule.
According to the company, those who book ahead have the option of Ryanair’s zero change fee should plans change.
Ryanair’s Commercial Director, Jason McGuinness, said: "We are pleased to announce a new Newcastle to Zadar route, commencing in July 2021 and flying once weekly as part of our UK Summer 2021 schedule.
"Mindful that Covid restrictions change regularly, customers can now book flights for a well-deserved break knowing that if they need to postpone or change their travel dates, they can do so up to two times with a zero change fee until the end of October 2021."
Leon McQuaid, Head of Aviation Development at Newcastle International Airport, said: “It’s fantastic to see more great news from Ryanair for the region today with the announcement of Zadar, a brand new destination for Newcastle International Airport this summer.
"As well as being home to some of Croatia’s best beaches Zadar also provides easy access to three stunning national parks, popular with hikers and rock climbers, and is the main gateway to many of Croatia’s most popular music festivals.
"Zadar, is now the ninth Ryanair destination from Newcastle International Airport, and in addition to Chania announced last week it provides even more choice for the North East traveling public.
"We are very much looking forward to welcoming passengers from across the region when travel restrictions are eased.”
