Croatia Airlines finalises summer network
Croatia Airlines plans to operate 16.000 flights during the summer season, which begins this Sunday and lasts until October 30. The carrier has put close to 1.7 million seats on sale during this period and will maintain 41 international routes. In a strategic shift, the Croatian carrier will serve the most destinations out of Split, instead of its hub in Zagreb, although the latter will still boast the most flights overall. As previously reported, the airline will introduce five new routes out of Croatia’s second largest city and maintain services to eighteen points in Europe. Apart from the new additions, it will resume seasonal flights to Athens, which were suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic, and bring back operations to Prague, which were launched last summer.
Croatia Airlines intends on maintaining fifteen international destinations out of Zagreb. It plans to bring back just one route suspended during the Covid pandemic, with flights to Barcelona to resume in May. Overall, it will run services from the capital to Amsterdam, Athens (via Dubrovnik from May 1), Barcelona, Brussels, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, London Heathrow, Munich, Paris, Rome (via Split), Sarajevo, Skopje, Vienna and Zurich. The carrier will also serve Dublin, however, present scheduling indicates the Croatian carrier will not link the two capitals during the peak summer months starting from June 10, during which the national airline will maintain flights to Dublin from Split. From Dubrovnik, the carrier will operate six international destinations - Athens, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Rome and Zurich. International services will also be maintained from Rijeka and Osijek to Munich.
Commenting on the upcoming summer season, Croatia Airlines’ CEO, Jasmin Bajić, said, “We have tried to tailor our flight network to our passengers’ needs. In support of Croatia’s tourism, we are expanding our flight network not only from Zagreb, but also from Dalmatia’s biggest city - Split. I believe that many of our passengers will fly to Split and find an attractive holiday destination on the Adriatic to spend the warmer part of the year in”. He added, “We are also marking an exceptionally important anniversary this summer. On April 3, our company is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of our successful partnership with Lufthansa Technik, whose support we are thankful for. I have no doubt that our partnership will continue to be successful”.
