On Tuesday, Croatia Airlines' first flight officially inaugurated the new scheduled connection between Hamburg and the Croatian capital Zagreb. The aircraft took off from Hamburg at 10:30 a.m. and landed in Zagreb at 1:45 p.m. after approximately one hour and 12 minutes of flight time. This new route offers passengers a convenient and direct journey between the two cities three times a week.
Hamburg Airport celebrated the launch of the new route and the partnership with Croatia Airlines. Before departure, the airline welcomed the first guests at the gate with a small event. Dirk Behrens, Head of Aviation at Hamburg Airport, expressed his delight at the new partnership, emphasizing that the connection offers an attractive, direct connection to an exciting destination in Southeast Europe and expands the range of flights from Hamburg to the popular holiday destination of Croatia.
Slaven Žabo, Director of Commercial Operations at Croatia Airlines, explained that the new seasonal service between Hamburg and Zagreb expands the travel options for passengers and creates even better connections between Germany and Croatia. The new route from Hamburg complements Croatia Airlines' existing flights from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, and Düsseldorf to various Croatian destinations. The new route will operate Croatia Airlines' modern Airbus A220 aircraft, replacing the existing fleet and offering a pleasant flight experience for both passengers and crew. The A220 aircraft are known for their modern technology and onboard comfort.
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, offers a blend of history, culture, and modern city life. Highlights include the Upper Town with St. Mark's Church, the Cathedral, Ban Jelačić Square, and museums such as the Museum of Broken Relationships and the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum. Parks such as Zrinjevac and the underground Gric Tunnel invite you to explore and relax. Flights are offered on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with departures on Tuesday mornings and Fridays and Sunday evenings. As a member of Star Alliance, Croatia Airlines also offers attractive connecting flights via Zagreb to the entire region, especially to other destinations in Croatia.
