Croatia Airlines to restore one route as Dash utilisation reaches high
Croatia Airlines plans to restore a single route during the month of April, albeit on a limited basis, and does not plan to utilise its Airbus A320 jets at this point, with bookings unlikely to pick up until later in the spring. The Croatian carrier will reinstate flights between Zagreb and Dublin, however, only three rotations are planned during the month - on April 1, April 8 and April 11. Services between the Croatian and Irish capitals have been suspended since late October of last year. Croatia Airlines will resume its seasonal flights from Zagreb to Brač, as well as from Osijek to both Dubrovnik and Split, which operated last summer as well.
Croatia Airlines will increase frequencies on some routes next month. These include Sarajevo and Copenhagen from Zagreb, which will run three times per week instead of two weekly. Overall, at this point, the Croatian carrier plans to offer 77.796 seats on the market during next month. It will offer the most capacity from Zagreb to Frankfurt, followed by services from the Croatian capital to Dubrovnik, Split, Amsterdam and Paris. Based on its current listing, the airline will not be utilising any of its A320 aircraft on scheduled flights next month. Instead it will rely on the Dash 8 turboprops on 86% of all services, while the A319 will be used on the remaining 14%.
The Croatian carrier plans to deploy its Dash 8s on almost all routes in April with exception to Frankfurt, Dubrovnik, Split, Brussels, and Amsterdam on select days, while Paris, Dublin and London Heathrow will be wholly operated by jet-engine aircraft. Croatia Airlines recently said, “We anticipate a better tourist season compared to 2020, but the question is when exactly it will start. It is already apparent it will not begin at the start of the 2021 summer flight season but rather in mid-May or early June. In line with those circumstances, we will optimise our capacity and will have to undertake a permanent optimisation process”.
