ZAGREB, 16 July 2025 – Croatia’s national carrier, Croatia Airlines, has announced a notable increase in flights and seat capacity in its upcoming 2025/2026 winter schedule, continuing its role as a vital link between Croatia and the rest of Europe throughout the year.

Running from 26 October 2025 to 28 March 2026, the new winter timetable includes a 7.7% increase in total flights, with 9,811 flights planned and over 1.18 million seats available – a 21% rise in capacity compared to the previous winter.

More routes, more connectivity

This winter marks a strategic extension of several seasonal routes into the colder months. Passengers will now be able to fly on the following routes throughout winter:

Zagreb – Berlin (Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays)

Zagreb – Stockholm (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays)

Zagreb – Barcelona (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays)

Split – Istanbul (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays)

Dubrovnik – Frankfurt (Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays)

Dubrovnik – Rome (Thursdays, Sundays)

In addition, Croatia Airlines will continue to connect Rijeka, Osijek and Zadar with Munich, further enhancing regional accessibility during the off-peak season.

In total, the winter schedule will operate:

27 international routes

Links between 6 Croatian and 17 international airports

Domestic connections from Zagreb to Split, Dubrovnik, Pula and Zadar, as well as flights between Pula and Zadar

This expansion is made possible in part by the largest fleet renewal in the airline’s history. The introduction of the modern Airbus A220 aircraft has already begun to improve passenger comfort and operational efficiency.

Croatia Airlines says the fleet renewal not only supports improved safety and service quality but also underpins its strategy to maintain year-round tourism connectivity for Croatia.

The airline plans to remain responsive to market trends and demand shifts, with flexibility to adjust the schedule if needed. Any changes will be communicated promptly.
