Croatia Airlines welcomed on Tuesday its one millionth passenger, 11 days earlier than when it achieved the milestone last year.

“This year’s one millionth passenger was transported 11 days earlier than last year, and by the end of the year we plan to transport more than two million passengers in the year,” Krešimir Kučko, Croatia Airlines CEO, said.
