Split Airport is one of the busiest in Croatia, especially at weekends during the summer season when tourists flock to the beach resorts on the Dalmatian Coast.
Located near the city of Trogir, the airport is the third-largest in the country, processing more than 1.2 million passengers every year. Flights to Split Airport are available on a number of major carriers direct from European hubs such as London, Amsterdam, Rome, Frankfurt and Paris.
Though small in size, the airport has a reputation for being efficient, with quick turnaround times for baggage and security even at peak times. They’re also expanding, with a second, larger terminal expected to be finished by 2014.

Train: There are no train or rail services from Split Airport.
Bus: Bus No. 37 runs from Split to Trogir, with a stop at the airport in between. You can take the bus into Split, but the bus station is several kilometres from the town centre so you’ll need to take another bus or find a taxi from there. The bus departs every 20 minutes during airport operating hours and costs HRK 10 (£1).
Croatia Airlines operates its own bus service to Split Airport, timed to meet all scheduled flights by that airline. It stops in Split at Obala Lazareta, which is only a short walk from the intercity bus station, rail station, and ferry harbour. At HRK 30 (£3.50) per ticket, it’s more expensive than the public bus but much more convenient.
