A
ir Croatia (
Zagreb) has set its sights on a Christmas launch date, six months after poor consumer demand forced it to postpone its original launch plans. EX-YU Aviation News says the carrier is now planning to serve
Rome Fiumicino,
Milan Malpensa,
Prague, and
Dusseldorf from its
Zagreb hub this Christmas with
Helsinki Vantaa,
Bucharest Otopeni,
Stockholm Arlanda, and
Belgrade to follow by Easter next year.
The start-up is looking to enter unserved markets which hold great potential, while at the same time avoiding direct competition with its rivals.
Though it had originally planned to lease an
A319-100 from
CSA Czech Airlines (OK,
Prague) in June, it is uncertain what it plans to use for its maiden flights this time round.
