During the next tourist season, it is planned to connect Croatia with 22 international destinations or 23 European airports, and Croatia Airlines planes will fly on 47 international routes.
In total, more than 17,000 flights are planned, and more than 1,820,000 seats will be offered.
“Croatia Airlines is a proud partner of the Croatian Tourist Board, with which, as with many local tourist boards, it successfully cooperates in the development and continuous improvement of the quality of the Croatian tourist product. As a national airline, we want to provide strong support to Croatian tourism during the next season as well, by expanding the European network of destinations and increasing the total number of flights.
Our plans are based on the stability of business achieved during this year’s season in the conditions of a partial recovery of market demand after the biggest crisis in the history of the airline industry caused by the pandemic, and the fact that in the current part of the year we have almost doubled the number of transported passengers compared to 2021 and achieved a positive financial result in the third quarter.
Therefore, it is our firm intention to remain a strategically important part of the Croatian transport and tourist infrastructure in 2023 and to contribute daily to the maintenance of traffic connections for the Croatian economy, citizens and our passengers,” said Slaven Žabo, director of commercial affairs of Croatia Airlines.

“This year was a year of recovery for tourism on a global level, and in this context, Croatia took the position of one of the most successful destinations in the Mediterranean.
Among other things, airlines played an important role in this success, i.e. the excellent connection of Croatian airports with numerous European destinations and our emission markets. The announced flights of Croatia Airlines for 2023, our reliable and strategic partner, will be a key link for our numerous guests, and at the same time one of the foundations for achieving further growth in tourist traffic and positioning Croatia as an aviation destination – said Kristjan Staničić, Director of Croatian Tourist Board.
