ETF Airways (ETF meaning Enjoy The Flight) is a Croatian charter airline carrying out charter flights and ACMI operations.

History

The airline was officially registered in November 2020, aiming to be operational with a Boeing 737-800 aircraft by summer 2021 on charter flights from several European countries to holiday destinations along the Adriatic coast of Croatia.

Certification was completed on 28 May 2021, when both its air operator's certificate (number HR-105) and operating license (number HR-OL-29) were issued by the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency.

Revenue operations commenced on 4 June 2021 with a flight between Pristina and Helsinki.

At the same time, the young airline secured an operating contract from French airline Corsair for its second Boeing 737. Starting 22 December 2021, it was utilized on daily round-trips between Reunion and Mayotte on behalf of the French carrier.

A third plane arrived in April 2022, registered 9A-KOR and nicknamed "Discovery". Since then, the airline operated for major European operators such as TUI, Transavia, JET2.COM, Neos and many others

In addition to EASA, the airline holds IOSA, FAA and Transport Canada certificates.

The airline prides itself of refusing "pay to fly" pilot schemes, a high social score and one simulator training session per year more than required by the law.
