First North American Flight direct to Zagreb

This is big news indeed. Skyservice Airlines has just started a direct route from Toronto to Zagreb, the first flight directly from North America to Croatia. The weekly Skyservice flight will leave Toronto every Wednesday at 10.45pm, arriving in Zagreb at 3pm. The return flight leaves Zagreb Thursdays at 7pm arriving in Toronto at 12.34am.

Skyservice has been running charter flights to Zagreb since 2004 but the new regularly scheduled flight has been a big success. The maiden flight was June 20; all went well and we can assume that Canada’s Canadian community was delighted with the news. We can also assume that tickets will sell out pretty soon so book now at Skyservice!

So expect to see it in the top five next year, as it certainly deserves to be there.
