History

Originally the airline was founded in 2013[3] and planned to start operations by summer 2014, but this was rescheduled to 18 December 2014 and subsequently postponed to 1 March 2015,[3] and then again until 2 April 2015, when the operations finally commenced. The airline originally announced it would operate an Embraer 170 but instead started to utilize an ATR 42-300 operated by Denim Air.[3]

Since November 2014, Air Croatia was in partnership with Hahn Air for ticket distribution via their Global Distribution System using the code H1.[4] However, the airline continued to report poor sales for its flights to Prague, Rome and Budapest.[5] Subsequently, the route from Zagreb to Budapest has been suspended after just one return flight operated.[6]

As of 23 April 2015, all remaining routes were suspended due to a financial dispute between the airline and their contracted credit card payment agency leading to a lack of funding to fulfil their leasing payments to Denim Air.[7]

gollark: It is entirely possible that all the options will be worse on many dimensions.
gollark: No you don't.
gollark: Although you would need a way for users to back it up, hm.
gollark: What I would do is just have a license key or something it checks which is in a mildly non-obvious location.
