ZAGREB, 8 May 2022 - Canadian airline Air Transat has resumed a regular flight service between Toronto and Zagreb after a two-year break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Zagreb's Franjo Tuđman Airport said on Sunday.

It is the first overseas flight to Zagreb this year. Air Transat will operate the route Toronto-Zagreb-Toronto once a week.

Canada's Ambassador in Croatia, Alan Bowman, said he was very pleased with the resumption of direct flights between the two countries, expressing hope that this would increase the number of tourists to both countries and open the door to new business opportunities.
