Adriatic Skyways (Dubrovnik) is a new Croatian start-up looking to serve the Balkan region beginning this summer. The carrier will partner Denim Air ACMI (Amsterdam Schiphol) whose exisiting Dutch Air Operator's Certificate will allow Skyways to keep costs down.

"Adriatic Skyways is established to promote and develop airline traffic from the Balkan region. Its expertise lies in the commercial operation of an airline, rather than the operational. The business model excludes starting its own AOC to stay lean and low cost, and therefore Adriatic Skyways has selected Denim Air ACMI as its operator." The start-up says it will focus on tour operators, local tourism agencies, hotels, and governments in order to increase traffic and tickets sales from the region.

Adriatic Skyways plans to launch flights this summer using Fokker 50s and Fokker 100s.
