Sep 26, 2014 (newstodate): A Chinese delegation now visiting Croatia to further the project for new direct flights between Croatia and China is producing results.
Talks between the delegation and the Chinese Southeast Europe Business Association, CSEBA, have confirmed that flights from Chongqing to Croatia will start already this winter in cooperation with a yet-unnamed Chinese carrier.
Plans are to start out with a rotation every 10 days, or up to three times per month, primarily carrying Chinese tourists into Croatia and the Balkan region.
CSEBA is also negotiating additional flights from Beijing and Shanghai to Croatia, most likely operating into either Zagreb or Dubrovnik, and hopes are also to turn the charter flights into all-year scheduled services from 2015.
CSEBA furthermore eyes increased Chinese interest in the Croatian carrier Croatia Airlines that will be privatized in 2015, and both Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines are seen as potential parties to a deal with the Croatian state over the national carrier.
The Chinese Southeast European Business Association, CSEBA, was set up in February 2014 on the initiative of former Croatian President Stjepan Mesic.
