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,"
said Ulf Ingnäs Director Corporate Partners for the SAS Group.
SAS and Croatia Airlines already have a partnership based on their bonus programs.
