Croatia Airlines scales down its losses

Croatia Airlines reported a loss of HRK 38.8 million in the first half of 2014, which was down by 52% compared to H1 2013, according to a financial statement this government-owned national airline company issued on the Zagreb Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

The first half of a year is always less favourable to the company's performance due to the seasonal variations and more flights in the summer.
