About Croatia Airlines
Croatia Airlines (IATA: OU) is the flag carrier of Croatia, a relatively small but full-service European airline connecting the capital Zagreb — and seasonally the Adriatic coast, including Dubrovnik and Split — to major cities across Europe. As Croatia's tourism industry booms in summer, Croatia Airlines significantly expands its seasonal capacity to meet demand from travelers heading to the Adriatic coastline.
Croatia Airlines operates almost its entire network through its primary hub at Zagreb Airport (ZAG). As a member of Star Alliance, the airline connects passengers to 27 partner airlines worldwide and participates in the Miles & More frequent flyer program shared across the alliance. FareOptic compares Croatia Airlines fares across all routes to help you find the best OU ticket price.
