Croatia Airlines

Croatia Airlines says base maintenance delays have affected its financial results by limiting aircraft availability and third-party work for other airlines.

Croatia Airlines reached a milestone by operating its first international commercial flight with a new Airbus A220.

Croatia Airlines has outlined the first routes planned to receive Airbus A220 service.

Air France Industries / KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) has signed a pair of contracts with European carriers to support their Airbus A220 fleets.

Croatia Airlines is one of the smaller European flag carriers—its fleet comprises an Airbus A320, five A319s and six De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Q400s.

Croatia Airlines expects delivery of the first of its 15 new Airbus A220s in June, with the second to follow by year-end.

Tomislav Impric, technical director and maintenance manager at Croatia Airlines, discusses how the carrier is readying for the arrival of A220 aircraft.

Routes details the latest new route announcements, as well as the services returning to carriers’ networks.

Flights will begin in May with Dash 8-400 turboprops.

According to reports, Croatia Airlines is selling its London Heathrow Airport mid-morning slots on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, retaining afternoon and evening slots on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The sold slots will pass to Delta Air Lines from April 1, 2017 and will enable the US major to grow its joint transatlantic network with Virgin Atlantic from London’s largest airport.

Croatia’s dependence on leisure traffic is higher than in other European countries. The major problem for Croatia Airlines is a seasonal demand and this seasonality represents the main issue to be resolved in future network development. The airline’s chief executive officer, Krešimir Kučko, says the airline will succeed, thanks to a little help from its friends.
