Zadar Airport (Template:Langx; Template:Comma separated entries) is an international airport serving Zadar, Croatia. It is located in Zemunik Donji, Template:Cvt from the centre of Zadar.[1] With over 70 destinations on offer the airport handled around 1.6 million passengers in 2024.[2] It is the fourth busiest airport in Croatia.

History

As early as 1936, Zadar (then part of the Italian Province of Zara) had regular commercial flights, initially provided by Ala Littoria.[3] Over time the airport has grown to become Croatia's fourth largest international airport. It used to be one of a few airports in the world where the taxiway crossed a public road. The road was closed on 7 April 2010 due to terms negotiated with the European Union during Croatian accession negotiations.[4] In 2020, an underpass was built and the road was reopened.

In April 2013, Zadar Airport became a Ryanair base with a stationed Boeing 737-800. In December 2019, Lauda announced the stationing of three Airbus A320 aircraft during the summer 2020 timetable period. A set of 11 new routes was announced by the airline for summer 2020.[5] Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the airline postponed the opening of the base to July 2021, where it will station two Airbus A320-200 and serve 37 destinations.[6]

Facilities

The airport also is a Croatian Air Force main training base. It used to be a base for Lufthansa's InterCockpit flight school.
