Air India expanded its codeshare partnership with Croatia Airlines in May, giving passengers of India’s national carrier access to additional routes to and from Croatia via European hubs. According to Aeroroutes, the expansion covers several Croatia Airlines routes that have gradually been added to the codeshare since early May 2026.
According to data published by Aeroroutes, Air India now places its code on additional flights operated by Croatia Airlines. The expanded agreement includes routes from Dubrovnik to Rome Fiumicino and Zurich, from Split to Copenhagen, Milan Malpensa, Rome Fiumicino and Zurich, and from Zagreb to Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Zurich.
The expanded codeshare is particularly important for connecting Croatian destinations with Air India’s long-haul network, as it allows passengers to combine flights more easily within a single booking, with more convenient connections and a wider range of possible itineraries. In practice, Air India passengers can more easily continue their journeys to Zagreb, Split or Dubrovnik via European cities where Croatia Airlines operates scheduled services.
For Croatia Airlines, this type of cooperation further strengthens its presence in international distribution channels and increases the visibility of Croatian routes in markets outside Europe. Air India and Croatia Airlines are both members of Star Alliance, which also facilitates this type of commercial cooperation between carriers within the same global airline alliance.
According to Aeroroutes, the expanded codeshare covers a total of nine routes operated by Croatia Airlines, on which Air India has been gradually adding its code since May 2026.
