Croatia’s main international airport, Zagreb Airport (also known as Pleso Airport), will be closed on November 21 and November 22 due to a strike by handling agents.  
According to Reuters, 120 flights have been cancelled, costing the airport US $160 000 each day. 
Lufthansa has announced flight cancellations and says in a statement: “Lufthansa regrets any inconvenience to passengers caused by the strike measures in Zagreb and will do its utmost to minimise impacts on passengers. Passenger support and service has paramount priority. Passengers are kindly requested to check the status of their flight prior to departure. Passengers whose flights are operating are kindly requested to come to the airport in good time.”  
The airline is allowing affected passengers to refund or rebook their flights free of charge. 
Turkish Airlines has announced that it will not be providing operation services to Zagreb Airport during November 21 and November 22 and that all flights will be transferred to Split airport. Passengers who do not wish to accept the alternative option can have a reservation change free of charge for another date on TK flight. Refunds are also possible within the tariff rules. 
A list of flights affected can be found here but passengers are urged to check flight statuses regardless. 
Other flight statuses can be checked below:
