Croatia Airlines is due to launch its biggest network expansion in six years this July with the introduction of five new routes from Zagreb including Prague, Bucharest, Milan Malpensa, Madrid and Hamburg. However, the airline has now revised down frequencies for two of its five new routes. Furthermore, it is also reducing the number of services between Zagreb and Tirana, which was launched last year.
Flights between the Croatian capital and Prague will now launch on July 4 instead of July 2 and run twice per week, rather than three times per week, on Mondays and Fridays. Towards the end of August, just one weekly service will be in operation, between August 18 and August 25, and again from September 1 until September 15, after which the airline will restore its originally planned three weekly rotations between the two capitals (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) until October 13, when services will again be reduced to two weekly until their conclusion on October 20.
The flag carrier has also revised frequencies on its new Bucharest service. The route commences on July 1, as planned, and will run three times per week during its first week of operations (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays). However, by the second week, flights will be reduced to two weekly, running on Tuesdays and Saturdays. From July 26, operations will be reduced to one weekly until August 2, while from August 5 no flights are planned for nine days until August 14. The route will then see another two weekly flights for a week, followed by another nine days of no service. Operations should stabilise from late August and run three times per week as originally planned in September and October until its conclusion on October 25.
Apart from the two new routes, Croatia Airlines is also revising operations between Zagreb and Tirana, which was launched last year. Following three weekly flights throughout June, services will be reduced to two weekly in July. They will return to three weekly in August, after which frequencies will be cut to just one weekly from September 12 until the route’s conclusion on October 24, with the exception of one week in October when two flights are planned. The carrier had initially scheduled to run three weekly flights between the two capitals throughout the summer.
Further revisions to the network remain possible.
