Starting April 30, United Airlines will operate three weekly flights from Newark to Split, making it the only U.S. airline connecting Croatia and the United States.

This new route opens exciting opportunities for American travelers eager to experience Croatia’s world-renowned sailing destinations. With direct access to Split — the gateway to the Dalmatian islands, including Hvar, Brač, Vis, and Korčula — visitors can now enjoy seamless travel to some of the most beautiful yachting and Mediterranean holiday destinations in Europe.
