Croatia is looking to extend the length of its tourism season by increasing the number of flights available to people wishing to visit the country.
Croatia Airlines is placing an emphasis on introducing more international flights from Croatia’s secondary airports over the winter months.
Jasmin Bajić, Croatia Airlines CEO, said “our goal now is to link both Zadar and Dubrovnik with international destinations during the winter period. The whole of Croatia is important to us because that way we will succeed in our mission”.
Nikolina Brnjac, the Minister for Tourism and Sports, said “our goal is to increase the number of flights available to Croatia throughout the entire year, which contributes not only to air connectivity, but also to the development of a year-round tourism product.”
Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport is Croatia’s biggest and busiest airport. In 2022, it expected to handle a total of three million passengers, or around 88% of its pre-pandemic traffic.
