New Croatian airline measures introduced
21 August 2008
An aviation body has applauded the EU approval of new Croatian security measures.
In news which may interest tourists wishing to travel to Croatia, the country has put in place new rules which no longer require passengers to forfeit their duty-free liquids at some checkpoints when transferring flights.
Olivier Jankovec, Airports Council International's European director general, said: "Croatia's established popularity as a European destination sets a fine example to other non-EU countries to apply for the liquids, aerosols and gels exemption."
Under the previous system, liquids were required to be given up in the EU, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.
Meanwhile, European Travel Retail Council president Frank O'Connell claims he is "delighted to see Croatia approved by the commission".
The news comes shortly after one of the country's air carriers was praised.
A statement released by the Association of European Airlines claimed Croatian Airlines has become "an important part" of the country's infrastructure due to increases in fleet size over recent years, reports website Financnik.sk.
