New code-share for SAS and Croatia Airlines

Based on a new partnership, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is able to offer its Scandinavian customers a flight product involving only one stop to and from Croatia. SAS and Croatia Airlines have entered into a code-share partnership on SAS's routes from Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen to Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, Amsterdam and Zurich, and connecting flights on Croatia Airlines' routes to Zagreb and Split.

Croatia Airlines is a regional Star Alliance member with its home base in Zagreb. The company flies to a large number of destinations in Europe, although not presently to Scandinavia. Croatia is a tourist destination that has experienced very high growth among Scandinavian travelers in recent years. In addition, homebound traffic is relatively extensive since many Croats live in Scandinavia.

"We believe that this partnership and the improved product will benefit travel to/from Scandinavia/Croatia since we are now expanding our offering and it will be simpler to combine SAS and Croatia Airlines departures," says Ulf Ingnäs Director Corporate Partners for the SAS Group.

SAS and Croatia Airlines already have a partnership based on their bonus programs.
