NEWS FLASH


The Croatian Minister for Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, Oleg Butković, has met with the Albanian Minister of Tourism and Environment, as well as the Mayor of Tirana, to discuss future cooperation. The two sides agreed that flights between Zagreb and Tirana should be established to better facilitate people to people exchange, as well as boost tourism. In 2020, prior to the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Croatia Airlines considered introducing flights between the two capital cities, but Tirana failed to make its final line-up of new routes. In 2019, 6.229 passengers flew indirectly between Zagreb and Tirana. Croatia Airlines is exploring opportunities at expanding its footprint in Southeastern Europe and linking destinations in the region to the West, as the carrier looks into ways of becoming more competitive on the market.

    6.229 passengers in 2019 it's not bad so summer seasonal flights should workout well for OU.

    I just wonder what OU can offer them in their network what TIA does not have.

      Nothing, but in their minds they think OU can offer TIA-ZAG feed to Star Alliance partner that might start flights from New York to Zagreb next year. OU is looking where JU is getting their JFK feed from and is trying to get their piece of the cake.

      It is insane.

      To fly to TIA just to get peantus from SA partner that would maybe start flying to ZAG.

      At least JU is feeding their own flights to JFK.

      JU flies 10PW. At the beginning most flights were operated by ATRs, now majority is A319.
      Night flights (departure to TIA around midnight, arrival in BEG around 0500) together with Larnaca, Sofia, Thesaloniki and Athens "midnight wave"

      OU had started flights to TIA long long ago. When Albania started opening to the World. One of the first airlines to start TIA, service with enormous potential, later proven as a fact. In the beginning LF was modest, than the service started growing nicely, maturing and having decent LF, with healthy mixture of transfer and P2P, economy and business passengers. Then the service was terminated, like many others, with OU CEO, from the same Party as minister Butkovic, saying :"necu da mi Siptari prljaju avione". I wonder if minister Butkovic mentioned that sentence in the latest talks, which so and so come too much too late to make any difference for OU.

      No no no. You mixed up something. Kalmeta is Arbanas, of Albanian roots. He was never OU CEO, he was Minister of Transportation. The one who said this shameful sentence was Matija Katicic.
