Croatia Airlines d.d. is the national airline and flag carrier of Croatia, based in Zagreb, and a regional member of the Star Alliance. It operates services to domestic and international destinations. Its main base is Zagreb Airport, with focus cities at Dubrovnik Airport and Split Airport.[1] In 2007 Croatia Airlines posted a net profit of 25 million Croatian kuna and transported 1,715,027, a maximum in the airline's history.[butuh rujukan]
History
The airline was established on 20 July 1989 as Zagal– Zagreb Airlines, and started operations using Cessna 402 aircraft on cargo services for the UPS. The company used the name Zagal for short. After the first democratic elections held in Croatia, Zagal changed its name on 23 July 1990 to Croatia Airlines[1].
In 1991 the airline signed an agreement with Adria Airways and then was able to lease a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 to start domestic jet services between Zagreb and Split. As soon as flights restarted, Croatia Airlines bought three Boeing 737s from Lufthansa and became a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). That year also saw the airline's first international route.
In 1993 two ATR 42s and two more 737s joined the fleet, offices were opened in several European cities and the company bought a travel agency, Obzor, to organize travel for groups and individuals. By 1994, Croatia Airlines had welcomed its one millionth passenger. Later that year, Pope John Paul II flew the airline on a trip to Croatia.
In 1995, another ATR 42 was welcomed, as was the two millionth passenger. In 1996, Croatia Airlines became the first airline to fly to Sarajevo. In 1997 the airline's first Airbus A320 arrived and was nicknamed Rijeka. In 1998, another first plane of a new type arrived when the airline's first Airbus A319 joined the fleet. This airplane was nicknamed Zadar. Also that year, Croatia Airlines became a member of the Association of European Airlines (AEA). By 1999, two more Airbus jets had arrived and Croatia Airlines started selling the Boeing part of their fleet. Another important event occurred when the airline flew its five millionth passenger.
In 2000 two more Airbus planes arrived and an Automated Ticketing System was inaugurated. 2001 saw Croatia Airlines get maintenance and technical performing certificates from the German aviation authority Luftfahrt-Bundesamt. On 18 November 2004, Croatia Airlines joined the Star Alliance as a regional member, sponsored by Lufthansa. Croatia Airlines carried 1,715,027 passengers in 2007.[butuh rujukan] According to some estimates 2007 was their best traffic year and also most profitable.[butuh rujukan]
2008 has seen the airline retire its fleet of three ATR 42 short-haul aircraft in service from 1993, to be replaced by six Bombardier Q400 aircraft, the first two of which were delivered in May and June 2008.
