Croatia Airlines and CARWIZ International have reached a business agreement that will expand their collaboration through the FLY&DRIVE project.
The contract, signed at Croatia Airlines’ Technical Centre at Zagreb International Airport in the cockpit of an Airbus aircraft, will make five CARWIZ International branded hybrid cars available to Croatia Airlines’ operational services at airports in Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik. The move will increase the visibility of the CARWIZ brand.
Krešimir Dobrilović, the director of CARWIZ International, stressed the expanded partnership will “provide our joint clients with the best travel experience and create new and lasting experiences. These core principles guide CARWIZ’s business.”
FLY&DRIVE is a joint service offered by Croatia Airlines and CARWIZ International, where passengers who use both companies’ services can get a 15% discount on plane tickets and car rental services by using a specially created code. The service is currently available in Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic, Romania, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina and will soon be available in more European markets.
The FLY&DRIVE project, launched in 2022, has seen significant growth in service reservations in just a few months. The two companies have pooled their resources to stay abreast of the latest market trends to build tourism products that satisfy travelers’ yearnings for innovation and supplemental services.
“Expanding our business cooperation with CARWIZ International is an upgrade to the successful joint FLY&DRIVE project through which, using synergistic effects, we created a recognizable tourism product and created additional market demand,” Slaven Žabo, the director of commercial affairs at Croatia Airlines, said. “One of the key steps for even greater availability and recognition of the product is targeted promotion. With this contract, we strengthen that important segment of the strategic partnership while allowing even better mobility for our operational services in the three busiest Croatian airports. Thus, as the national airline, Croatia Airlines continues to confirm its strategic importance and its role in the development of Croatian tourism and the economy.”
Dobrilović agreed, saying the companies are “listening to the market’s needs and responding appropriately, not only in the domestic market but also in the 30 or so markets worldwide. With this collaboration, we are creating a high-quality and unique Croatian tourism product that strengthens the positioning of all stakeholders in demanding markets in Europe and worldwide.”
