ZAGREB, 30 August 2025 – Croatia Airlines has today welcomed its sixth new Airbus A220-300 aircraft in Zagreb, continuing the national carrier’s major fleet renewal programme.
The latest addition, registered as 9A-CAP and named “Zadar”, arrived directly from Airbus’ manufacturing facility in Mirabel, Canada.
With a seating capacity of 149 passengers, the A220-300 is designed to improve efficiency, passenger comfort, and operational reliability across the airline’s expanding network.
