Croatia Airlines expects to retire its remaining Airbus A319s in October, according to the aviation portal Ex-Yu Aviation. The last commercial flight with the type is scheduled for 11 October, though the airline's plans could still change.
Four A319s remain in the fleet, each with 144 seats. The type has flown with the carrier since 1998.
The retirement is part of Croatia Airlines' shift to the Airbus A220. It now flies nine A220-300s and two A220-100s. Three more A220s are due in 2026, and the fifteenth and final aircraft on order arrives in 2027.
The three remaining Dash 8 Q400s leave the fleet at the end of March 2027. After that, the airline's own fleet would consist only of A220s, supplemented by ATR 72 aircraft flown under wet-lease arrangements.
