Sep 13, 2021 (newstodate): The Croatian carrier Croatia Airlines has high ambitions for growth after Covid-19.
Supported by the Boston Consulting Group, Croatian Airlines is working on a new strategy envisaging the acquisition of 12-15 aircraft over the next five years.
The Croatian government has yet to approve the state-owned carrier strategy that aims at full implementation over the coming three years, including also a comprehensive expansion of the network served.
Denmark is the only Scandinavian market in the schedule for winter 2021/22 by Croatia Airlines.
So far, the carrier's plans comprise flights from Zagreb to 12 international destinations, including Copenhagen Airport.
In the current summer 2021 schedule, the carrier has been operating two weekly rotations between Zagreb and Copenhagen, while traffic to Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki have not been operated.
Croatia Airlines launched its first Scandinavian flights in 2008, with the route between Zagreb and Copenhagen served from May 27, 2008.
Starting from May 19, 2017, flights to Stockholm were added, marking a return to the Swedish market that was on the map of the carrier during the 90ies.
Oslo in Norway became a new destination for Croatia Airlines from May 21, 2017, and flights to Helsinki were introduced from May 21, 2017.
