Croatia Airlines has announced plans to expand its network of European destinations for the 2026 summer season, which will run from March 29 to October 24, 2026. The airline intends to increase both the number of flights and available seats compared to the previous year.
The expansion is supported by an updated fleet that now includes seven Airbus A220 aircraft. Croatia Airlines expects passenger numbers to continue rising, with an additional seven A220s scheduled for delivery during 2026.
For the upcoming summer season, more than 19,290 flights are planned—an increase of six percent over last summer. The airline will offer over 2,396,000 seats, representing a nine percent rise from 2025 levels. Croatia Airlines will connect Croatia with thirty-two international destinations across thirty-three European airports and operate fifty-five scheduled international routes.
Two new seasonal routes are being introduced: Nantes – Split (operating on Tuesdays and Fridays) and Stuttgart – Dubrovnik (on Mondays and Fridays). To promote these new services, Croatia Airlines is offering return tickets starting at EUR 169 for Nantes – Split and EUR 139 for Stuttgart – Dubrovnik. Promotional fares can be booked through the company’s website or mobile app.
