Emirates will add Croatia to its European network when it starts flying to the capital Zagreb on June 1, 2017.

The new daily non-stop flight will be operated with a Boeing 777-300, capable of carrying approximately 16 tonnes of cargo.

“Emirates has had a commercial presence in Croatia since 2003, so to launch full operations is a natural progression,” said Thierry Antinori, executive vice president and chief commercial officer. “Emirates is pleased to have this opportunity to add such a picturesque destination to our global route network.”

According to the carrier, the new route opens up access for trade to and from the whole southeast Europe region, which was previously unserved.

The schedule for the new flight is as follows.
