History

The history of the Croatian airlines company, Croatia Airlines, was written from day to day, because each following step meant a step nearer to the realisation of the goal, the creation of an national airline company. In all the years of its existence and in rendering services of carrying passengers and goods, Croatia Airlines has connected Croatian cities with all the most important capitals of Europe, and through them, with the entire world.The company is a joint-stock company, of mixed ownership. The Company's Head Office is in the capital of the Republic of Croatia, Zagreb. 1989. On 7 August 1989, the first Croatian air carrier, called Zagal - actually Zagreb Airlines - was registered. The Zagal company began operating with an aircraft of the Cessna 402 C type, and was engaged in the transport of UPS consignements. 1990. Following the first democratic elections in Croatia, on 23 July, Zagal changes its name to CROATIA AIRLINES. 1991. We sign an agreement with Adria Airways and start flying in the domestic traffic with a leased aircraft MD-82. On 5 May, we realize, on full wings, our first flight Zagreb-Split, and end up the year with 140.000 carried passengers. 1992. Following a short interruption of our flights caused by the aggression on Croatia, we acquire three aircraft of the Boeing 737 type form Lufthansa. With an increased fleet we enter the international air traffic and become a member of the International Association of Air Transport (IATA).
