Croatia Airlines Launches New Route to Athens

“Croatia Airlines hopes the launch of the Zagreb to Athens via Dubrovnik flight would help increase international destinations offered by Star Alliance,” according to Zoe Skreki, managing director at Intermodal Air.

Dubrovnik last year had 32.567 arrivals from Greece (75 percent increase from 2009) and 70.697 overnights from Greece (66 percent increase from 2009), according to a presentation on the Croation city presented at an event held recently by Croatia Airlines at the Hilton Athens.

Croatia Airlines, the national carrier of Croatia and a full member of Star Alliance since 2010, held the event for Greek tour operators and tourism professionals on the occasion of the launch of the direct Athens-Dubrovnik route in its summer timetable in late April.

Until 23 October the airline will connect the Greek capital Athens with Croatian capital Zagreb via Dubrovnik three times a week, every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Intermodal Air is the GSA (general sales agent) of Croatia Airlines in Greece.
