Flights to Croatia: Korean Air Reduces Winter Capacity, Smartwings Boosts Split Service

September 16, 2019 – The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for new flights to Croatia with updates from Zagreb and Split.

Avio Radar reports that Korean national carrier Korean Air, a member of the SkyTeam Airline Alliance, will reduce aircraft capacity slightly on its route between Seoul (Incheon Airport) and Zagreb in the coming winter flight schedule. 

Thus, instead of the new and larger Boeing 787-7 Dreamliner aircraft, which flew last winter and this summer, the upcoming winter season will feature the Airbus A330-200, which has the capacity for 218 passengers. The winter schedule will run from November 2019 to March 2020. 

Additionally, Korean Air will continue to operate on the Seoul-Zagreb-Zurich-Seoul route this winter. 

Moving from the capital to the coast, Avio Radar also reports that Czech carrier Smartwings will increase operations on their service between Poland and Split for the 2020 summer season. Namely, the airline will run three flights per week on both lines – Warsaw (Frederic Chopin Airport) and Split-Katowice. 

In addition to this year’s one flight per week, which took off on Thursdays, two flights have been added per week on both routes – on Mondays and Saturdays. These new lines will begin working on May 25, 2020. The end of traffic on these routes is still unknown, though tickets are currently on sale until September 7, 2020. Smartwings will operate both routes using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. 

Recall, TCN recently reported that national carrier Croatia Airlines would add a one flight per week between Brussels and Zagreb this winter, totaling to 12 per week. Furthermore, the seasonal service between Zagreb and Dublin will work until January 26, 2020, while its operations between Zagreb and Lisbon will end at the end of October. 

Croatia Airlines will maintain the same winter operations for other Croatian cities this year, which include flights from Split to Frankfurt, Munich and Rome, Dubrovnik to Frankfurt, and Rijeka to Munich. Croatia Airlines has also announced no changes to its winter operations between Croatian locations.
