Selection of Replacement Aircraft for Croatia Airlines Medium Range Fleet

Odabir flote zrakoplova diktira poziciju prijevoznika na dulji rok. Kvalitetna analiza čimbenika u skladu s planovima za budućnost je nužna kako bi odabrani zrakoplovi bili isplativi i optimalni. Čimbenici odabira flote su svrstani u nekoliko kategorija. Fokus ovog rada je na evaluaciji relevantnih zamjenskih zrakoplova za Croatiu Airlines koji bi zamijenili trenutne zrakoplove proizvođača Airbus. U radu su prvotno istaknute značajke i prometni pokazatelji trenutne flote koji uz činjenice o tržišnom statusu Croatie Airlines pružaju temelj za daljnju razradu tematike, odnosno parametara koji u konačnici dovode do zaključka o optimalnom odabiru. Novi zrakoplovi trebaju osigurati napredak poslovanja i konkuretnost prijevoznika. Relevantni zrakoplovi za evaluaciju su Airbus A319 neo, A320 neo, A220-100, A220-300, Boeing 737 MAX 7 i Embraer E-195 E2.Selection of aircraft fleet dictates the position of the carrier in the long term. Quality analysis of factors in relation to the plans for the future is necessary in order for the selected aircraft to be profitable and optimal. Fleet selection factors fall into several categories. The focus of this paper is on the evaluation of relevant replacement aircraft for Croatia Airlines that would replace the current Airbus aircraft. This graduation thesis initially highlights the features and traffic indicators of the current fleet, which together with the facts about the market status of Croatia Airlines provide the basis for further elaboration of the topic, regarding the parameters that ultimately lead to the conclusion about the optimal selection.
