Croatia Airlines will make several minor modifications to its operations this coming winter season, which begins on Sunday, October 28. The Croatian carrier will continue to maintain its two weekly flights from Zagreb to Mostar launched this summer season and will add an extra weekly service from Split to Munich, making the route operational on a daily basis. Furthermore, Croatia Airlines will upgrade its seasonal summer flights between Rijeka and Munich to year-round operations. The Croatian carrier will maintain two weekly flights between the two cities past October 28, each Thursday and Sunday, with its Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft. It marks the first time Croatia Airlines will be operating out of Rijeka throughout the entire year.

The Croatian carrier has no plans to reduce frequencies on any of its routes at this point when compared to last year. However, its flights to Mostar are likely to be rescheduled. Mostar Airport's General Manager, Marin Raspudić, said recently, "Loads are poor on Croatia Airlines' flights to Zagreb. We expected much better results. People complain about the scheduling so we will try and negotiate better times with the carrier for the winter season so people can travel to and return from Zagreb in a single day". The Federal government of Bosnia and Herzegovina is providing half a million euros in funding to subsidise the route on a year-round basis over the next three years.

Apart from the operations listed below, Croatia Airlines will continue to maintain six weekly flights between Pula and Zadar. The number of frequencies on the route remains unchanged compared to last year. The 2018/19 winter season runs until March 31, 2019. Please note that the changes listed below are preliminary and based on current availability in the Global Distribution System (GDS). Furthermore, the table below displays the peak weekly frequency on each route during the course of the winter season.
