If your journey from Dubrovnik Airport to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport operated by Croatia Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Dubrovnik and Rome (504 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Croatia Airlines. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.
