“Congratulations to this year’s millionth passenger at Franjo Tuđman Airport, Jela Ravnjak who arrived from Dublin on a Croatia Airlines flight, OU 513.

“I did not expect this, I arrived from Dublin where I was visiting a friend. I like to travel and I will gladly use my prize,” said Ravnjak, who was gifted with a gift voucher for the Duty Free Shop at the Zagreb Airport and two return tickets to any Croatia Airlines destination.

The airport was a winner this year in the category of European Airports at the World Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards. Zagreb was a joint winner in the category of airports which handle between 2-5 million passengers annually.  Zagreb shared the award with London City Airport, Southampton International Airport and Tallinn Airport.
