Croatia Airlines reveals summer plans
Croatia Airlines has said it plans to maintain flights from Zagreb to fourteen international destinations this summer. In comparison, the carrier’s new main rival at the airport, Ryanair, will offer fifteen routes. The Croatian airline will run international services from Zagreb to Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, London Heathrow, Munich, Paris, Rome, Sarajevo, Skopje, Vienna and Zurich. Compared to the prepandemic 2019, the carrier will not restore operations to Barcelona, Bucharest, Helsinki, Lisbon, Milan, Mostar, Oslo, Prague, St Petersburg, Stockholm and Tel Aviv this summer. Based on its existing schedule, it will run the most flights to Frankfurt and Zurich as part of its international network, while overall, the most frequencies will be offered to Split and Dubrovnik.
Commenting on the company’s network, the head of Croatia Airlines’ Commercial Division, Slaven Žabo, said the carrier plans to offer 80.000 seats between Croatia and Europe each month, with a total of eighteen international routes from the country. “Frequencies will be adjusted based on market demand”, Mr Žabo noted. He added the airline is in negotiations with Zagreb Airport for the latter to improve business conditions. It comes following the airline’s claims that Ryanair has been given discounts and incentives to commence operations from the Croatian capital and is being favouritised as a result. This summer, Croatia Airlines will also operate some 200 charter flights, primarily from Austria, Italy, Ireland, Israel and Scandinavian countries to the Croatian coast.
Croatia Airlines recently selected the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to support its post-Covid-19 strategy. BCG will develop plans for how the carrier can tap into unfolding summer opportunities, albeit in an agile manner in light of the continued uncertainty. The strategy also focuses on preparing Croatia Airlines for the “new normal”. “BCG will help us redefine new market opportunities for connecting European destinations with the region of Southeast Europe, maximise future revenue potential and increase aircraft productivity. It will help us define opportunities for further rationalisation and improvement of business processes”, Croatia Airlines said.
