Croatia Airlines has announced that around 900 flights will be cancelled over the next three months as rising fuel prices continue to affect airlines across Europe.
According to Croatian media reports by 24sata and statements given to RTL, Croatia Airlines flight cancellations are linked to a sharp increase in jet fuel prices caused by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The airline has not yet released a full list of affected flights, but several routes had already been removed from the 2026 summer schedule earlier this year.
These include flights from Zagreb to Milan and Bucharest, as well as routes from Split to Amsterdam, Bucharest and Skopje. A seasonal route between Zagreb and Tirana was also cancelled.
Croatia Airlines says it is trying to reduce losses by adjusting flight capacity and optimising routes based on demand and operating costs. The company is also facing delays in the delivery of new Airbus A220 aircraft, creating additional operational pressure ahead of the busy summer season.
Despite the cancellations, Croatia Airlines says demand for flights to Croatia remains strong, with passenger numbers reportedly up by 23 percent during the first four months of the year compared to the same period last year.
