PHOTOS: Croatia Airlines restores Zagreb - Prague service

NEWS FLASH

Croatia Airlines resumed flights between Zagreb and Prague last week following an almost six-year hiatus. The carrier now serves the Czech capital from three cities, including Dubrovnik and Split. Although initially planned to operate three times per week with the A220-300 aircraft, Croatia Airlines will now run the service twice per week, on Mondays and Fridays. One weekly rotation will be in operation between August 18 and August 25, and again from September 1 until September 15, after which the airline will restore its originally planned three weekly flights between the two capitals (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) until October 13, when services will again be reduced to two weekly until their conclusion on October 20. The route will be maintained with a mix of A319 and A220 aircraft.

Commenting on the new service, Croatia Airlines’ CEO, Jasmin Bajić, said, “We are very pleased to have expanded our network with the addition of a new seasonal service between Prague and Zagreb. We believe many Czech travellers will welcome the opportunity for the fastest and most convenient connection to Croatia, and that it will inspire them to personally explore the natural, cultural, and historical treasures of Zagreb and the country as a whole”. Jaroslav Filip, Director of Aviation Business at Prague Airport, added, “Thanks to our excellent cooperation with Croatia Airlines, Zagreb is returning to our destination network after nearly six years. This move supports our business strategy aimed at connecting Prague by air with all European capitals. In 2019, more than 25.000 passengers used this route. Croatia remains a popular holiday destination for many Czech tourists, but we also expect the renewed service to attract business travellers”.
