Ryanair Publicly Challenges Croatia Airlines

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Low-cost carrier Ryanair, which will open bases in Zagreb and Zadar this summer, has slammed Croatia Airlines’ recent complaints that the company is receiving preferential treatment in the Croatian capital. Jason McGuinness, Ryanair’s chief commercial officer, said that it is inappropriate for the national carrier to complain about Ryanair after having received millions of euros, adding that Croatia Airlines had not achieved growth and profit in the past four years. Ryanair, he said, will bring a total of 14 new routes to Zagreb this year, while Croatia Airlines has brought three in the past four years. McGuinness suggested that Croatia Airlines “must do its homework again.”
