Croatia Airlines operated a special flight from Doha to Zagreb on Sunday carrying the Croatian men’s football team who came third at the recently completed FIFA World Cup in the Qatari capital. However, the airline has been scrutinised for operating another empty flight to ferry luggage between the two cities without any passengers. Croatia Airlines explained that it initially planned to carry the football players on an Airbus A320 which would have been large enough to accommodate both the passengers and all of their luggage, however, the plane had technical issues prior to its departure to Doha, forcing the carrier to send the A319 instead. It followed with another A319 flight to pick up luggage. The plane spent an hour in Doha following the 3.900-kilometre journey before returning to the Croatian capital. The Croatian carrier said it was the only way it could meet its obligations to the Croatian Football Federation, with which it has a sponsorship agreement. It did not specify the additional costs incurred as a result. Croatia Airlines is set to be recapitalised this Thursday with a 39.2-million-euro cash injection.
