Zagreb, Croatia-based charter provider Jung Sky is bracing for record demand this summer. Last year, the company fielded more than 41,000 inquiries between June and September, and based on the level of interest this year, it expects to exceed that mark.
“The team is focused and confident, and I must say we’ve been eagerly awaiting that very familiar pre-summer rush and momentum,” said Ivan Jakovac, Jung Sky’s head of sales. “If the pace in 2025 continues, and all signs say it will, we’ll hit the 30,000 mark this year in June and July alone.”
He added that the goal of the Varaždin Airport-based operator is not to break records in the number of emails it responds to, but to win flight contracts, support brokers, and provide exceptional customer service with its three Cessna Citations.
“It’s rewarding to see that both brokers and passengers value our services and continue to book us every year,” said Jakovac. “Many of them often say it’s a real shame we don’t have more jets, and—looking at these numbers—I couldn’t agree more.”
High demand isn’t the only challenge European operators will contend with this summer. Air traffic congestion, slot issues at major hubs and vacation destinations, and parking shortages are all concerns, as well as fueling obstacles with the implementation of the ReFuelEU SAF regulation at the beginning of the year.
