About

Split Airport, also known as Resnik Airport, is an international airport serving the city of Split, Croatia. Located approximately 19 kilometers (12 miles) from Split’s city center, it lies on the west side of Kaštela Bay, extending into the adjacent town of Trogir. The airport is named after Saint Jerome, the patron saint of Split-Dalmatia County. In 2019, it was the second busiest airport in Croatia, handling 3.3 million passengers1. Notably, in 2021, Split Airport surpassed Zagreb Airport for the first time, becoming the busiest airport in Croatia, handling 1.57 million passengers1. During the European summer holiday season, it serves as a major destination for leisure flights and is an important seasonal base for Croatia Airlines, offering connections to European cities such as Athens, Frankfurt, London, and Paris. The airport’s history dates back to the 1930s, with its relocation from Sinj to Resnik in the 1960s. Over the years, it has seen significant growth, including the construction of a larger terminal building in 1979. Despite challenges during the Yugoslav wars, Split Airport has become a vital gateway for travelers exploring the stunning Dalmatian coast and nearby islands.
