The beginning of 2020 was followed by a period marked by the coronavirus pandemic, which had an extremely negative impact on the global aviation industry, and thus on the results in Zagreb.

Since the epidemic was declared in 2020, Zagreb Airport has been open and operational for civil traffic, special flights, repatriation flights, general aviation traffic and cargo traffic, which recorded a large number of aircraft with humanitarian aid and necessary medical equipment.

Although in the period since the beginning of the pandemic there has been a drastic decrease in passenger traffic compared to 2019, through increased freight traffic it became clear how important the airport is in the supply chain and organization of society as a whole. This was especially evident in the reception of humanitarian flights after the devastating earthquakes in Zagreb and Petrinja.

After a period of great decline and stagnation of traffic, caused by the coronavirus pandemic, today Zagreb Airport is recording a slight, gradual traffic recovery. We believe that the just-started summer timetable will be on track and that, although traffic has not yet reached the results of the years before the pandemic, we believe that a time new growth in these current, challenging circumstances is ahead of us.
