Flight Cancellation Compensation Croatia Airlines

In the event of a Croatia Airlines flight cancellation, European laws on air passenger rights are clear: Croatia Airlines must offer you alternative transportation to get to your destination or, if you prefer, a refund.

When Croatia Airlines cancels flights, it will usually attempt to rebook passengers on another flight at no extra cost. If this does not work for you, you may request other changes or choose to no longer take the trip.
