Split Saint Jerome Airport

Split Airport is about 20 km (12 miles) west of Split, in the town of Kaštela. A taxi takes about 30 minutes to the city, and the Pleso airport shuttle reaches Split's main bus station, beside the ferry port and a short walk from the Old Town, in about 30 minutes, longer in summer traffic.

No. Split Saint Jerome Airport is in Kaštela, on the west side of Kaštela Bay, and its grounds extend into neighboring Trogir. It is about 20 km (12 miles) from Split and about 6 km (4 miles) from Trogir, so the historic town of Trogir is the closest major destination to the airport.

Split has one terminal. An expansion completed in summer 2019 tripled the floor space and now holds check-in, arrivals, baggage claim and domestic departures. The refurbished original building still handles some international departures. All airlines use the same terminal, so there is no terminal transfer to worry about.

Croatia Airlines flies year-round to Zagreb and several European hubs, and Trade Air serves Dubrovnik, Pula and Rijeka. In summer, easyJet, Jet2.com, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Eurowings, Norwegian, SAS, Volotea and Vueling add many routes, network airlines such as British Airways, KLM, Air France and Austrian Airlines fly to their hubs, and United Airlines flies to Newark.

Taxis wait outside the terminal whenever the airport is open, and the ride to Split takes about 30 minutes. Unofficial drivers sometimes approach passengers in arrivals, so use the taxi rank and agree the fare before you get in. Uber and Bolt also operate at Split Airport as an alternative.

Yes. The Pleso airport shuttle leaves after incoming flights and goes to Split's main bus station in about 30 minutes. Promet Split city buses 37 and 38 run from the bus terminal across the road to Sukošan bus station, about 1 km from the Old Town, in roughly 40 minutes.

Yes. Both Uber and Bolt operate at Split Airport, and many visitors use them to avoid unofficial drivers. Fares are demand-based, so they can rise on busy summer days when many flights land at once. Rides are booked and paid in the app, so the fare is shown before you set off.

Croatia is in the Schengen area, so there is no separate Croatian entry form. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Travelers arriving on flights from within the Schengen area do not pass passport control.

Trogir is about 6 km (4 miles) from the airport, the closest major destination. Promet Split city bus line 37 runs between Split, the airport and Trogir, leaving from the bus terminal across the footbridge. A taxi or rideshare is the quicker option, especially with luggage or late at night.

Ferries and catamarans to Hvar and Brač leave from Split's city port, next to the main bus station where the airport shuttle stops. Jadrolinija car ferries take about 50 minutes to Supetar on Brač and about two hours to Stari Grad on Hvar, while catamarans serve Hvar Town and Bol.

Croatia uses the euro, and the terminal has ATMs and a currency exchange. Split runs on Central European Time, UTC+1, and moves to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. Summers are hot and dry, and summer is by far the busiest season at the airport.

Split Airport handled about 3.9 million passengers in 2025, up about 7 percent on 2024, making it the second busiest airport in Croatia after Zagreb. Traffic is highly seasonal, with most flights between spring and autumn. The airport is owned and operated by Split Airport Ltd.
