Resumption of Prague – Zagreb Air Connection; Croatia Airlines to Launch Its Direct Flights This Summer

Regular flights to the Croatian capital of Zagreb will be available to passengers three times a week – on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the afternoon (departure from Prague at 2:10 p.m., arrival in Zagreb at 3:20 p.m.; departure from Zagreb at 12:10 p.m., arrival in Prague at 1:20 p.m.). Croatia Airlines will deploy Airbus A220-300 aircraft with a total capacity of 149 passengers on the route. The first flight on the resumed route will operate on 2 July, and the service will be available until the end of the summer season.

“Thanks to the excellent cooperation with Croatia Airlines, Zagreb is returning to our destination map after almost six years. We are continuing to implement our business strategy, which aims to connect Prague by air with all European capitals. In 2019, more than 25 thousand passengers used this connection. Croatia remains a popular holiday destination for many Czech tourists, but it can be expected that the resumed connection will also be used by the business passenger segment,” Jaroslav Filip, Prague Airport Aviation Business Directors, said.

“We are very pleased that we have managed to expand our flight network with the new Prague - Zagreb seasonal route. We believe that many Czech passengers will welcome the possibility of the fastest and most convenient transport connection with Croatia, and it will be motivation for them to personally set out to discover the natural, cultural, and historical beauties of Zagreb, and indeed of all of Croatia. We are very happy to offer our passengers an excellent flying experience on board the Airbus A220, a new aircraft in our fleet which is more technologically advanced and environmentally friendly,” Jasmin Bajić, President and CEO of Croatia Airlines, commented.

In addition to the resumed regular Prague-Zagreb flight, there will also be a further increase in capacity on the existing Croatia Airlines service between Prague and Dubrovnik. From May this year, the Croatian carrier will operate this route twice a week - on Thursdays and Sundays. Croatia Airlines' offer at Prague Airport is completed by its flights to Split, which will be offered twice a week during the summer season, every Monday and Saturday.

Passengers can purchase tickets to Zagreb and other destinations online at the carrier’s website.
