Croatia Airlines will temporarily reduce frequencies on a handful of routes during February, which is considered the slowest month in the aviation industry, compared to its original plan. The reductions will only impact the carrier’s services from Zagreb, with a total of seven routes to see cuts. They include Vienna, Brussels, Sarajevo, Frankfurt, Munich, Skopje, and Zurich. The carrier has removed twelve weekly flights from its schedule, or around 7% of its weekly Zagreb operations. Vienna and Brussels will see the biggest reduction in flights with both to loose three weekly rotations. Sarajevo will be cut by two weekly frequencies in February, while all of the other abovementioned routes will see a reduction of one weekly flight. Changes remain possible. February network reduction
All other routes remain unaffected. For some of the abovementioned destinations with more than one weekly frequency cut from the schedule, the reductions will be gradually introduced during the month. Overall, during February, Croatia Airlines has removed a total of 47 departing flights out of Zagreb. However, it will still boast more operations than in February of last year, with a 3.6% increase in flights. During the month, it will run the greatest number of services to Split, followed by Dubrovnik, Frankfurt, Zurich and Munich. The reductions are not expected to have a major impact on Zagreb Airport itself, as it will see a 15.5% increase in the number of flights and a 19.6% increase in capacity this February when compared to last year’s record, following Croatia Airlines' network revision. Croatia Airlines has begun wet-leasing a Trade Air Airbus A320 aircraft as of last week. In line with previous reports, the jet, registered 9A-BTH, which is 22 years old, will initially be based in Zagreb, and will be relocated to Split for the summer. The aircraft will operate on behalf of Croatia Airlines until the end of the year. The Croatian carrier is also eyeing a second A320 wet-lease for the 2024 summer season. A wet-lease is a leasing arrangement whereby the lessor provides an aircraft, complete crew, maintenance and insurance to another airline.
