Croatia Airlines

Croatia Airlines is the flag carrier of Croatia, founded in 1989 and majority owned by the Croatian government. It operates from Zagreb Airport (ZAG) and serves a network of European destinations alongside domestic routes connecting Croatia's main cities and coastal airports.

The airline is a full member of the Star Alliance global network, providing Croatian passengers with access to over 1,000 destinations worldwide through partner carriers. Star Alliance membership also enables codeshare agreements with carriers such as Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines.

Croatia Airlines participates in the Miles&More frequent flyer programme, the loyalty scheme shared across the Lufthansa Group and several other Star Alliance members in Europe. This gives passengers broad mile-earning and redemption options across a large partner network.

The carrier operates a small fleet of Airbus narrowbody jets and Dash 8 turboprops, suited to its primarily intra-European and domestic route network. The summer tourist season significantly boosts capacity demand to Croatia's Adriatic coast destinations.
