We are Croatians living in Dublin, parents video-calling children every Sunday, adult children watching parents age from a distance, families split across two countries trying to stay close. We are asking Ryanair for one thing: a year-round direct flight between Dublin Airport (DUB) and Osijek Airport (OSI), Croatia.
Mi smo Hrvati koji živimo u Dublinu, roditelji koji svake nedjelje videozovom razgovaraju s djecom, odrasla djeca koja gledaju kako im roditelji stare izdaleka, obitelji podijeljene između dviju zemalja koje pokušavaju ostati blizu. Tražimo od Ryanaira jednu stvar: cjelogodišnji izravni let između Dublinskog aerodroma (DUB) i Aerodroma Osijek (OSI), Hrvatska.
───
The case is already there. Ryanair flies London Stansted ↔ Osijek seasonally — proving the airport works, the demand exists, and the route is viable. Dublin is Ryanair's home base. Adding this connection is the obvious next step. But the existing London route is not a solution for Dublin passengers — the Stansted–Osijek flights do not align with Dublin–London departure times, making a same-day connection nearly impossible. You cannot catch an early morning flight from Dublin to Stansted and make it onto the Osijek service, and flying back from Osijek into London then connecting to Dublin is not practical. It is a route that exists on paper but does not work in practice for anyone travelling from Ireland.
Argument je već tu. Ryanair leti London Stansted ↔ Osijek sezonski — što dokazuje da aerodrom funkcionira, potražnja postoji i ruta je isplativa. Dublin je Ryanairu matična baza. Dodavanje ove veze je logičan sljedeći korak. No postojeća londonska ruta nije rješenje za putnike iz Dublina — letovi Stansted–Osijek ne poklapaju se s vremenima polazaka Dublin–London, što presjedanje isti dan čini gotovo nemogućim. Ne možete uhvatiti jutarnji let iz Dublina do Stansteda i stići na let za Osijek, a povratni let iz Osijeka u London ne nudi nikakvu idealnu vezu prema Dublinu. To je ruta koja postoji na papiru, ali u praksi ne funkcionira za putnika koji putuje iz Irske.
A summer-only service is not enough. Croatian diaspora travel happens at Christmas, Easter, and throughout the year — not just in summer. When there is no direct Dublin–Osijek flight, we still travel, just through London, Vienna, or Zagreb instead. That revenue belongs to Ryanair.
Samo ljetna usluga nije dovoljna. Putovanja hrvatske dijaspore odvijaju se za Božić, Uskrs i kroz cijelu godinu — ne samo ljeti. Kada nema izravnog leta Dublin–Osijek, ionako putujemo, samo preko Londona, Beča ili Zagreba. Taj prihod pripada Ryanairu.

Our ask / Naš zahtjev:
▸ April – October / Travanj – Listopad: 2 flights/week · 2 leta tjedno
▸ January – March, November / Siječanj – Ožujak, Studeni: 1 flight/week · 1 let tjedno
▸ December / Prosinac: 2 flights/week · 2 leta tjedno
≈ 90 flights per year. Low risk. High impact. / 90 letova godišnje. Nizak rizik. Visok učinak.
───
Why it makes sense / Zašto ima smisla:
• 30,000+ Croatian nationals in Dublin — zero competition on this route
30.000+ Hrvata u Dublinu — nulta konkurencija na ovoj ruti
• Osijek Airport is Ryanair-compatible and currently being modernised
Aerodrom Osijek kompatibilan je s Ryanairom i trenutno se modernizira
• Dublin is Ryanair's largest base — minimal positioning costs
Dublin je Ryanairu najveća baza — minimalni troškovi pozicioniranja
We are also calling on Osijek Airport (osijek-airport.hr), Osječko-baranjska County Government (obz.hr), and the Croatian National Tourist Board (htz.hr) to support this by negotiating the route incentive package that makes it happen.
Pozivamo i Aerodrom Osijek (osijek-airport.hr), Osječko-baranjsku županiju (obz.hr) i Hrvatsku turističku zajednicu (htz.hr) da podrže ovu kampanju pregovaranjem o paketu poticaja koji će to ostvariti.
