The privately-owned Croatian airline Jung Sky has celebrated the first 10 years of doing business, announcing plans to increase its fleet, which will be followed by more hiring activities, expansion to new markets and the opening of new company departments.

The key strategic goal in 2020 is the purchase of a third jet that would have twice the number of seats and a much longer range than the two jets in the company’s fleet, company officials said, adding that this would help the airline enter new markets and attract new clients.

“The introduction of a new aircraft will be accompanied by a significant staff increase. Furthermore, we are currently in the process of setting up our own aircraft maintenance service. Next year will be a special one in many regards and it will definitely steer us in the years to come. That is why it is no exaggeration to say that Jung Sky is entering a whole new era of business”, said Kresimir Jung, the company’s CEO and one of the crew captains.

Jung Sky offers business and private flights to destinations in Europe and North Africa.

This year alone, Jung Sky has flown to almost 200 different destinations. The most frequently travelled destinations are Nice, Rome, Milan, Geneva, Venice, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, London, Zurich and Berlin while Mediterranean destinations tend to be rather popular in the summer season.

Jung Sky concludes its first decade with a total of 28 employees, including nine pilots, and two Cessna 525A CJ2 jets thanks to which in recent years the company has successfully positioned itself in the highly competitive European business aviation market.
