NEWS FLASH
Croatian carrier Trade Air will restore Public Service Obligation (PSO) domestic flights within Croatia next Thursday following a five-month hiatus. It comes after the airline was selected to operate the routes over the next four years following a severely delayed tender by the Croatian government. Trade Air has been granted 24 million euros for the upkeep of six routes. They include Osijek - Zagreb - Osijek, Osijek - Pula - Split - Pula - Osijek, Osijek - Rijeka - Osijek, Rijeka - Split - Dubrovnik - Split - Rijeka, Osijek - Zadar - Osijek and Rijeka - Zadar - Rijeka. The carrier will wet-lease a 34-seat Saab 340 turboprop from Polish airline SprintAir in order to maintain the domestic services. Tickets for the flights are now on sale.
Bravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteCould you maybe put them on the new routes tab? There is no schedule to be found anywhere
ReplyDeleteThese flights are useless, especially for a 34-seater that is probably half empty. They better invest those millions and build a high-speed rail.
ReplyDeleteYou would need a few billion Euros to create or upgrade the existing rail system for high speed trains. This is a cheaper way of ensuring connectivity
DeleteRijeka- Zadar is nonsense 🤦🏻♂️ Why not DBV-Zad.
ReplyDeleteWould love to try Osijek-Pula-Split :) Where can those be booked?

DeleteBravo Trade Air, Bravo Croatia!
ReplyDeleteThose flights are totally unnecessary, most of them. They are either not in accordance with the EU green policy, where flights on distances of less than 500km should not even exist (unless something really special, like islands that have to be connected), so I am wandering till when most of those flights will be allowed even.
ReplyDeleteConnecting Osijek with the cost has sense, but flights Rijeka Zadar, Split- Dubrovnik, they are nothing else but cash machines for TradeAir and Croatia airlines.
Osijek Zagreb?!!! How many passengers? And can you connect to any other flight?
DeleteYes, you can connect to any OU morning flight.
DeleteIt is not possible to connect on OU flights at the moment, flights are not in OU timetable for now
DeleteDoes anybody know when flights for November will be on sale? I can’t find anything after end of the month.
ReplyDeleteWhen summertimetable ends
DeleteDon't mind the Saab 340, will be good if they introduce high frequency routes up and down the coast during the summer since OU completely ignores this possibilities here. Taking a bus from Pula to Split takes all day.... literally all day! Who wants to spend an entire day of their holidays on a bus.
ReplyDeleteBravo Trade Air - you are making here in Slovenia good service in charter flights, and having the Routes outside of Zagreb where the just don't know what to do with themselves. Ryanair should be banished and Croatia restored, otherwise Croatia is seeing the failure of a national airline, as the Slovenian idiots did (I'm Slovenian) with Adria.
