Croatia Airlines says base maintenance delays have affected its financial results by limiting aircraft availability and third-party work for other airlines.
Air France Industries / KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) has signed a pair of contracts with European carriers to support their Airbus A220 fleets.
Tomislav Impric, technical director and maintenance manager at Croatia Airlines, discusses how the carrier is readying for the arrival of A220 aircraft.
According to reports, Croatia Airlines is selling its London Heathrow Airport mid-morning slots on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, retaining afternoon and evening slots on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The sold slots will pass to Delta Air Lines from April 1, 2017 and will enable the US major to grow its joint transatlantic network with Virgin Atlantic from London’s largest airport.
Croatia’s dependence on leisure traffic is higher than in other European countries. The major problem for Croatia Airlines is a seasonal demand and this seasonality represents the main issue to be resolved in future network development. The airline’s chief executive officer, Krešimir Kučko, says the airline will succeed, thanks to a little help from its friends.
