Zagreb Airport provides new incentive scheme to attract new airlines

17 February, 2021

Zagreb Airport reportedly plans to launch an incentive programme aimed at encouraging new airlines to open new routes from the airport (Croatian Aviation, 17-Feb-2021). Airlines can apply up to 30-Jun-2021 by offering routes unserved from Zagreb in 2019 and 2020. Airlines must achieve a certain increase in passenger traffic p/a on the new routes for airlines to be eligible for the incentive. Airlines must also achieve at least 20% of passenger traffic in winter season to mitigate seasonality effects. Carriers transporting more than 75,000 passengers from Zagreb in the first year of introducing the new route will receive an 80% discount on passenger service charges and an additional 3% on top if more than 150,000 passengers are carried.
