It is one of five island airports in the country (the most notable being Krk island's Rijeka Airport and Brač Airport on the eponymous island).

Overview

edit

The runway is 900 m long and 30 m wide, and is equipped with 1C signalization, according to the ICAO. A non-precision instrument approach using an NDB located near the city is published. The runway and taxiways are paved with asphalt. Two taxiways are positioned at 45° from the runway.

The traffic consists primarily of small aircraft. It was built as a general aviation airport for air sports in 1985 when Croatia was still part of Yugoslavia.[2]
