As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Croatia Airlines (CA) has announced that it plans to continue to expand its network of European destinations in 2026, more specifically within its summer flight schedule. It will also increase the number of flights compared to the 2025 summer flight schedule, and will also introduce two regular international routes; Stuttgart – Dubrovnik and Nantes – Split.
“In the 2026 summer flight schedule, which runs from from March the 29th to October the 24th, Croatia Airlines plans to operate more intensively with its new fleet, which currently includes seven new Airbus A220 aircraft. This is something that will consequently affect the further growth of the number of passengers, and during 2026, we expect to receive the next seven new aircraft,” they revealed from the domestic air carrier.
Croatia Airlines is currently planning to operate over 19,290 flights in 2026, which is a six percent increase compared to this year’s summer schedule. It will also offer passengers nine percent more seats, or more than 2.39 million in total.
In the next summer flight schedule, which will run from the end of March 2026, Croatia Airlines plans to expand its network of European destinations and directly connect Croatia with a total of 32 destinations. The company will fly into 33 different European airports, flying on 55 scheduled routes. On the new seasonal routes that they are introducing in the scope of their summer flight schedule for 2026 (Nantes-Split and Stuttgart-Dubrovnik), the company has emphasised that they will fly on each twice per week.
The summer flight schedule obviously coincides with the tourist season, and Zagreb Airport will be connected to a total of 23 international destinations through Croatia Airlines, Split Airport will be connected by the company to 20 international destinations, or 21 airports. Also from March 2026, Dubrovnik Airport will also be directly connected to eight European destinations by Croatia Airlines throughout the 2026 tourist season.
