I would like to refine my previous post!
My sources say that Croatia airlines could be looking at up to 4 CRJ700s, 70 seaters, or the CRJ 900s, a decision will be made by year end!

yes, i have heard that the CRJ9's will be in with the ATR4's, A319's and A320's. Then i heard that OU and JU would do a joint order to try and save money. Then i also heard that JP might also get CRJ9's. And i think, MAT is going to also get more CRJ9's.

If Croatia airlines orders the 4 CRJ 900s,then the 3 ATR 300s will go!
There will be no joint order with Jat as Croatia airlines belongs to the star alliance group!

but maybe with JP.

I think OU would probably keep the ATR42's. They should keep them. OU could have much use fo them.

Croatia Airlines intends to take 4 CRJ-900 in order to replace all three ATR-42s. This information is from CTN directly, and they really want to withdrawn ATRs in any case.
I have never heard that Croatia Airlines is thinking about any joint order with any other company, and have only recently started negotiations with Bomardier and completely nothing is decided, now. And there is also an option to take CRJ-700s.

CRJ900 isn't a replacement for ATR42's, how can they be? If they got CRJ200's then that makes more sense.

It would make sense if they wanted to increase frequency on the current ATR routes.

An example on the routes ZAG-VIE, ZAG-MUC, ZAG-ZRH or ZAG-SJJ.
ATR-42 is too little for these flights and A319 too big. If you replace all these flights operated now mainly with ATR-42s then it is no more needed.
