As Poslovni Dnevnik/Lucija Spiljak writes on the 27th of October, 2020, the Croatian private airline Trade Air has opened sales for its domestic routes on which it will operate during its winter flight schedule which will last from November 2020 to April 2021.
This is an extension of the contract it has with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure, and as reported from the Croatian Aviation portal, Trade Air connects Osijek, Zagreb, Pula, Rijeka, Split and Dubrovnik.
They also offer charter and cargo flights, with an entire fleet that currently boasts a 180-seat Airbus 320 and a 109-seat Fokker 100.
The director of Trade Air, Marko Cvijin, who is also a pilot, explained that in cooperation with neighbouring Slovenian travel agencies, they also conducted charter flights from the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana to various Greek destinations until a few days ago, when the Slovenian Government suspended all international activities of the sort.
Through numerous European partners and brokers, Croatia's Trade Air has also operated a large number of flights for the transport of sports clubs and national teams. The company specialises in so-called wet lease where their customers are other airlines.
"According to the statistics of flights realised during the summer season, there were no cancellations due to the pandemic or poor sales, and the average occupancy on our flights along the coast did not fall below 50 percent. We also recorded a decent number of passengers during the off-season. These aren't only tourists, but also people business trips and those going to visit their families,'' said Cvijin, who believes that in 2021, Croatia will have a better pre-season, summer season and post-season.
