Let me just mention how competent Kučko is with example when he repeat constantly that Air Serbia is not of any danger to Croatia Airlines, that it is not a treat at all that can harm Croatia Airlines not a bit. Even today he is highlights that Croatia is regional leader, not Air Serbia. Doesn’t meter that by all data Air Serbia is much bigger and better than Croatia (number of passengers, number of routes, number of planes, flights to USA, bigger profitability, superior service, more planes order…).

They appoint CEO to...Government does not take care. They appoint CEO to do the job for them. When I had meeting with minister of transportation he said "I do care about Croatia Airlines, but you must understand that I have several thousand employees in Croatian railway, lot of problems with Jadrolinija...". I talked with two ministers and their question was "we are in some alliance with that German company right?", "I fly to Brussels with that plane have 'ventilator' and goes brrrrrrum", "I don't want Croatia to finish as that Hungarian company, what was it's name?", "Croatia Airlines is one of best company in Europe and that is why we have so huge share in all Croatia especially in Adriatic airports", "Croatia is so important as it's connected all the airports in Croatia"...<br /><br />Basically when minister get information that Croatia Airlines is profitable he does not have clue how (selling of airplanes, engines, Pleso prijevoz...), and he is happy as he will have no extra job, needing for finance it, strikes... He don't need anything more...<br /><br />I did not speak with Mr. Kučko personally, but what I heard on meeting where he speaks, were at least strange thinks. For example in one huge meeting he said "if Croatia go bankrupt and if we open new company we will lost all slots, membership in Star Alliance, code-share agreements...". I react on that and ask him if he is familiar with examples of Swiss, Brussels/Sabena, Olympic and which slots or code-share they lost? He did not know answer. Also when he said that they want to order A319 I ask him does he know how many A319 is ordered in this moment especially compared to A320 and A321, and why it is like that, he said he does not have a clue... etc. etc... <br /><br />If Mr. Kučko can not act and can not implement his plan he should quit and explain publicly why. There is line where you can not go as CEO. Let me remind how Mr. Matković was against concession of Zagreb airport. But he always said it is Government decision but he doesn't want to be part of it.<br /><br />But as I said I don't thing Government care about Croatia if it is "profitable" doesn't meter how.<br /><br />I would like to know what was those things they were not allowed. Till someone give me examples of those Government interventions, that is just excuse, nothing else. In this country one can just see excuses. "I am genius but I am not allowed to show my geniality". "We want to do it but European union does not allow us" (that is most common excuse, children in school blame European union for get bad marks). We are country of genius with excuses. And in my 25 years in business I find that 90% of those excuses are nothing else but excuse not to work or excuse for not having results.<br /><br />What I know is that Mr. Kučko publicly present at least 10 plans for new planes in just 3 years (several times I publish those plans that were publicly presented)?!?!?!?! I also know whit whom, when and how he speaks about leasing planes for this season. And it was not about Government permits, but about "sorry too much too late" and "I did not know...". I will just say Estonian and Adria...<br /><br />I was always there for Croatia Airlines, everybody knows that. But management in Croatia found any idea that is different from "ne talasaj" as attack to them. I found that when you ask simple question like "why you don't open flights on Friday at 18:00 to Dubrovnik and back on Sunday at 20:00 for migrants during winter when your planes does not have enough flights and it is same if they are parked in Zagreb or Dubrovnik", they react like you are No.1 enemy that want to make us not competent. Your proposal for them is not opportunity but attack! Why on earth? My efforts have always been only for the benefit of Croatia Airlines. I never had any other goals or hidden reasons. That is why I never want any money for my work on Croatia Airlines or Zagreb airport even when I was asked to take some.Purgernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-76899669548408782012016-07-31T02:02:53.050+02:002016-07-31T02:02:53.050+02:00Jako zanimljiva druga strana price.

Value of 12 helicopters is expected to be around 1 billion kuna, so there's no rush. <br /><br />Also Croatian AF is looking at replacing mig 21 in 2020, JAS39 E/F Gripen is most likely candidate and this will cost another 10 billion Kuna. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-41557469157883869462016-07-30T18:21:21.010+02:002016-07-30T18:21:21.010+02:00Nikakvo lepo pisanje exYU ne moze da izvuce CTN iz...Nikakvo lepo pisanje exYU ne moze da izvuce CTN iz katastrofe koja neumitno dolazi.
