NEWS FLASH
Croatia Airlines is expected to take delivery of two more Airbus A220 aircraft by the end of next month, for a total of five in its fleet. It comes after it welcomed its third unit of the type last week. The remaining two jets slated for delivery in 2025 are due by the end of the year. At the same time, Croatia Airlines plans to retire one A320 jet this year, following the retirement of two Dash 8 turboprops earlier in 2025. The carrier plans to have a fifteen member A220 fleet by 2027.
Finally proper aircraft in fleet.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, the A319 was perfect for OU.
DeleteWell A220 has the same capacity.
DeleteThe vast majority of the airlines who once operated the A319 have abandoned it.

DeleteA220 has the same capacity with enormous monthly lease rates which already caused further debts and losses compared to PAID OFF, OWNED AND FREE A319
These A319 are too old. You can use them for few more years and after that these will become useless to operate.
DeleteLease of younger 319's would be much cheaper than "bright and shiny". But who cares, "small tooth cattle" pays it off
DeleteIt wouldn't be cheaper if OU wants to fly operations properly. But if it wants to do only 2 rotations per day it would be fine.
DeleteBy fly operations properly, you mean with 63 % LF and 13 % market share, making 15 mil euro losses over 3 months of Q1?
DeleteWhy are they rushing? The ones they have now are not flying 100%
ReplyDeleteso for peak summer months they will have...
ReplyDelete5 A220
4 A319 + 2 A320
4 DHC8
in total 15 aircraft... i guess they could push out a summer season with this setup
Replace DHC8s with ATRS and A319 with A320 and you have the perfect fleet for OU
DeleteA320 is too big for Zagreb routes
DeleteGood fleet strategy and helps them avoid expensive wet leases too.
DeleteThey are about to wet lease a number of turbo prop planes to replace the ones they are getting rid of. I guess tou consider that a good fleet strategy, along with their outstanding 58% load factor.
DeleteStop this nonsense with ATR-72, just cause you like it, does not mean others need to as well. The airlines chose their fleet according their needs. They don't need ATR-72, in fact is highly likely Croatian Airlines will never utilise that aircraft ever again. It took Croatian Airlines 10 years to sell its fleet of ATR-42-500, experience they don't like to repeat.
DeleteSeven new birds by the end of the year, pretty good stuff!
Delete...if you know what to do with them.
DeleteWell two of them are going to Ljubljana
DeleteAnd rest to wet lease LH/LX/OU
Delete*OS
DeleteThey are not going to be leased but I know many here want the worst for OU.
DeleteIs there any ground on which Ljubljana base is being speculated here? I know the yesterday's article, but there was nothing concrete in there
DeleteWhat more ground do you want? Some people here...

DeleteTS, TW regularly send A330 to ZAG
IB, TK, LH regularly send A321 to ZAG
QR, BA, A3 regularly send A320 to ZAG
FZ, KL regularly send B738 to ZAG
FR/Lauda has 4 A320's based in ZAG
Therefore, A320 is not too big for ZAG routes
It is too big for incompetent uhljebs and appointed aparatchiks in OU which are executing political decisions to shrink and ruin the company.
It is too big for ZAG. You are just listing few examples (and few lies since LH doesn't operate A321 regularly and Iberia doesn't even have year round operations) and not the whole picture.
DeleteLH sends A321 regulary to Zagreb inform yourself a little bit before writting nonsense.
DeleteIt doesn't. My source is Lufthansa. Yours?
DeleteI love people who simply disregard regular A330 operations to ZAG and disregard 4 A320's BASED in ZAG, claiming the aircraft is too big. Hilarious!!!🤣
DeleteYes, it is too big for Croatia Airline. Go buy yourself A330 and fly to Copenhagen in the middle of February.
DeleteTypical BS response when lacking arguments
DeleteAnd you still can't give me a proper response
Delete"Croatia Airlines readies for more A220 deliveries" one would hope so, with 15 of them ordered :D
ReplyDeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteBravo OU!
ReplyDeleteI would like to put in co-relation two today's articles on ex-yu: one, JU readies to start the third North American destination, in addition to two more in the Far East, with wide body fleet which makes money, not only in JU, while OU readies to receive more regional aircraft to continue being shameful feeder for Liebe Mutti Lufti, for peanuts being paid for feeding and enormous losses as a result. And all of you writing here about proper fleet for OU, bright and shiny, Intergalactic Spaceship, Bravo Hrvatska, Bravo OU and similar, I have just one question for you : are you ashamed, at least a little bit?
ReplyDeleteWhy would I be ashamed for calling A220 proper aircraft?
DeleteHis comments are absolutely tedious!
DeleteThis is like having a coffee shop with totally new tables, chairs and interior but yet nobody comes in.

DeleteYou've just got your question answered by 00.38.
But I am afraid your capacities are too limited to understand it.
Or you are here only to
advocate dirty corruptive deals which resulted in "bright and shiny" single type fleet
If you want to make your product competitive, you need to invest in it. Ordering new gen jets is logical way to lead business.
DeleteI'm advocate for corruption? Whatever.

Yes, you are advocating corruption because they proved they are not successful business but loss making political entity. They are not investing anything, they are leasing expensive aircraft with no change of modus operandi and the result will be more debts and more losses. You can pretendent thousand times you are independent observer, but you are not. You are here on line of duty, ordered by either Središnjica or Buzin, to defend crime and corruption in OU which will eventually result in its disappearance.
DeleteSo your logic is A220 = corruption and Embraer = fairness and profit? And also being for A220 = HDZ membership leased A319 = experts on position? Hilarious.
DeleteYou either don't know to read or you don't understand English. Or you don't know what logic is. Because only thing which is hilarious is you manipulating, you twisting facts and you lying. The only explanation why so: you are here with task and Party duty to cover and defend crime, corruption and incompetence which will lead to OU following Adria fate.
Delete2216, pure nonsense.
