Croatia Airlines is moving to its summer flight schedule as of Sunday, during which it will operate direct flights to 38 European destinations in 24 countries and Zagreb will be directly connected with 24 European destinations in 22 countries.

The summer flight schedule begins before the Easter holidays, which traditionally mark the beginning of the tourist season in Croatia. At the peak of the season, Croatia Airlines will operate 105 flights daily on average.

This season the national flag carrier will continue flying to all ten destinations that have been included in its flight network in the last three years: Lisbon, Milan, Prague, Saint Petersburg, Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, Bucharest, Dublin and Mostar. It will also operate two seasonal routes that were launched last year: Split-Copenhagen and Dubrovnik-Munich.

The company expects a 5% increase in the number of passengers this year compared to last year when it flew a record 2.17 million passengers.

Croatia Airlines operates a fleet of 12 aircraft – four Airbus 319, two Airbus 320 and six Dash 8-Q400 planes. Like the last two years, it will hire two more aircraft for the purposes of the tourist season from May to October.

This year the company celebrates the 30th anniversary since its foundation. In the last three decades, it has flown 38.3 million passengers and operated 590,000 flights.
