Bravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteBravo Croatia Airlines! Bravo uhljebi!
DeleteWhat?
Delete"Excuse me?" would be much more appropriate than "what?", but let me explain despite : OU operates on half capacity, 319/320 mostly parked and Q400 flies, desperatly short of money, making huge losses, and letting other companies from other countries making money on their own market. Tell me now all those uhljebs don't deserve one simple bravo? Not only bravo, they deserve medails for destroying the company
DeleteOU is a lost cause to me, doesn't mean i can't be glad about Croatian airports getting more flights, especially out of season.
DeleteI have googled this W-Touristic and found out that it has an interesting web-page, consists of one page, and in one language only, Turkish. Looks like somebody found a way to milk the rich Dubrovnik tourist board ;)
ReplyDeleteDoubrovnik was always a destination for rich people. balkan prestige destination. thanks for ur comment
Delete@14:47 - Thanks for 'ur' comment too. It is appreciated.
DeleteThe point being that Freebird has found a way to get subventions from the Dubrovnik tourist board.
mass tourism flourishes
ReplyDeleteBut how on Earth can non EU carrier operate those flights between EU member states?
ReplyDeleteBecause they have EU subsidiary, Freebird Europe, two A320 registered on Malta.
