Zagreb will have additional flights from Dubai this winter as the airline Emirates have announced an increase in their weekly operations. Emirates will introduce an additional two flights every week from Dubai to Zagreb in their winter schedule.

Flights were launched last June and have proved popular, with daily flights through the summer months and five flights a week through the winter. With the added two weekly flights in the winter the airline will now have the same number of flights between Croatia and the United Arab Emirates all year round.

"Emirates is pleased with the reception our product has had in the Croatian market. Passengers out of Croatia are travelling to Dubai, but also to the Far East, Australia and the Indian subcontinent and coming into Zagreb from Dubai and other destinations from Emirates' global network," commented the airline in an official statement.

According to reports on the specialised website ex-yu aviation the additional two weekly winter flights could bring another 15,000 passengers to Zagreb.
