Croatia Airlines marks Vienna milestone

NEWS FLASH


Croatia Airlines celebrated three decades of flying between Zagreb and Vienna this Tuesday. On January 17, 1993, the Croatian carrier inaugurated the service, with the airline now maintaining two daily rotations between the two capitals. “Croatia Airlines has been offering flights from Vienna to Croatia for thirty years. Currently, they operate a total of fourteen flights per week. This flight connection strengths the close tourism connection between Austria and Croatia and Vienna’s role as an international hub. Joining the Schengen zone will simplify the journey for passengers flying via Vienna Airport on flights from and to Croatia in the near future. I am pleased about this decision which strengthens the freedom of travel within Europe,” the joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport, Julian Jager, said. Croatia Airlines’ Area Manager for Central Europe, Mato Radić, noted, “I am pleased that we are celebrating the thirtieth anniversary on the Vienna - Zagreb route and would like to warmly thank our partners at Vienna Airport for the high-quality collaboration which has existed over the past three decades. The Austrian market is a very important one for Croatia Airlines. This cooperation enables our passengers to benefit from suitable transfer options to destinations throughout the entire world when they arrive at Vienna Airport. At the same time, we also offer the fastest connection from Vienna to Croatia for passengers from Austria all year long”.

    4. Of course they are prestigious. You haven't read they have "Aerea manager for Central Europe"?
      That's actually the most important data in the text. It shows how big, strong, developed, structured, organized and manned they are. And this guy Mato is no doubt not an Uhljeb but one of the top experts in his field, worldwide. I mean their results speak for them, nothing else is needed.

    1. I flew on Sep 30, last year VIE-ZAG. There were simultaneous departures of OS and OU to ZAG, within few minutes. OS was full, full,full, over 100 pax. On OU, we were THIRTEEN (13). Few days ago, I flew MUC-RJK. We were TEN (10) pax on board. Bravo indeed!

      It happens, just one flight doesn't tell anything.

    3. It's not it happens, it's regular situation. Their LF of just over 60 %, if even that much as time passes, the worst in Europe, officialy reported, says everything, if my two flights don't tell anything.

      Only time I flew with OU was back in 2020 from Zagreb to Dubrovnik + return. It was always full. I think OU could be a really nice airline. It does look really nice and their staff are great. It does have this prestigious touch, but I totally agree that Management ist bad and there is no strategy. Would be nice if state would change complete Management or sell the company. Potential is there.

      There was a whole article about it last year when they leased the plane. It is a so called "reserve" plane. Flies when another is out of service. What is funny is that it is 10 times more comfortable than OU's other planes as it has TAP seats.

      No, VIE-ZAG is definitely NOT well serviced by rail. Check the timetables before posting. Greetings from Vienna.
