KLM marks Zagreb milestone

NEWS FLASH


KLM has marked the tenth anniversary since restoring operations between Amsterdam and Zagreb. The carrier’s first flight between the two cities following a 22-year hiatus was operated on April 26, 2014. It has since become one of Zagreb’s busiest foreign airlines. "Today, with joy and pride, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the first Zagreb - Amsterdam flight. Despite all the challenges that have affected the aviation sector over the past years, including the extraordinary circumstances caused by the pandemic, KLM has never ceased flights to European destinations, including Amsterdam, enabling better connectivity between Croatia and the region with the Netherlands and the rest of the world", Gojko Mavrinac, KLM’s Station Manager at Zagreb Airport, said last week. Passengers who were on board the Zagreb - Amsterdam service last Saturday were awarded with small gifts and with five times the Flying Blue miles for loyalty members. In addition to Zagreb, KLM also flies to Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia. Until June 29, it will maintain a daily service to Amsterdam from Split, and from June 30 until August 25, a three daily service. From Dubrovnik, from April 6 until June 28, KLM flies once a week, and after June 29, daily.

      Transavia is fine. Very cheap, offers transfer and layovers, counts towards Flying Blue

      I will be flying KLM in a few weeks for the very first time. We have only 50 minutes to connect in AMS on our way to ZAG. We will see how it goes, but I am eager to try something different than LH.

    I don't understand why they are celebrating a 10 year anniversary when they used to fly to Zagreb 22 years ago?

    Sadly, SAS, Swiss, Finnair, Aer Lingus and TAP are yet to start flying again to Zagreb.

      SAS flew double daily to Zagreb in the 80s and up to 1991. But never returned.

      I think SK needs to return ASAP since they are leaving Star Alliance and OU is a hostile carrier.

      Well, starting from September 1st, Croatia Airlines and SAS will no longer be code-share partners. This includes OU's nonstop flights to CPH as well as other one stop options they were selling via ZRH, BRU, VIE etc.

      Will be interesting if OU can make this route work without SK's help.

      You are wrong Nemjee, they will still be code-sharing on flights after September 1st just as OU does with Klm- Air France.

      The code share remains active. Croatia Airlines codeshares with KLM and Air France too. But routes like Frankfurt-Split and Munich-Dubrovnik will lose the codeshare I think.

      Well SK is no longer selling OU flights past September 1st so I doubt they'll be back. It's not about AFKL as much as it is about Star Alliance. United Airlines ended their cooperation with SK even before they left Star Alliance.

      You're right, my bad! I just checked and the codeshare does indeed end on 31 August. And Split-Copenhagen never even had a codeshare. SAS and OU always competed on that route.

      You're right, there is no codeshare past 31 August.

      That's when they are scheduled to leave Star Alliance, from what I see their cooperation with Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Croatia Airlines, United, Turkish Airlines... all ended, what's left is their agreement with Aegean.

    Is there no demand for SJJ to AMS? I remember B&H airlines flew the route but i don’t believe its been served since?

      It's hard for any airline to justify flying to Sarajevo from Amsterdam which has such tight slot restrictions. Using the slot for Amsterdam-Malaga can probably make 5 times more revenue.

    Direct ro SKP from AMS is no trainer, I don't understand why they are not doing it yet.

      Because there is obviously not enough demand to fly to AMS. This market is covered by Wizz to EIN and that's more than enough.
