Croatia Flights

Airlines and flights to Croatia

Being one of the most desirable holiday destinations, Croatia is enjoying increasingly more flight connections with Europe and the rest of the world. While the bulk of these Croatia flights happens during the Summer holidays season, more and more Croatia flights are available round the year.

(APRIL 2020 - Owing to Covid-19 epidemic and shutdowns, the travel and tourism industry is expected to suffer great losses. It will take years before it's fully recovered. See the note under Germanwings at no.10, as an illustration of the travel industry problems that lie ahead of 2020. IATA has called for financial assistance to be provided to the airlines. Denmark and Sweden have provided its SAS sirlines credit guarantees of $300 millions, while Finnair has received government loan of $650 millions. Alitalia, on the other hand, has been nationalized by Italy's government, with guarantees of $550 millions.)
