Split Airport (SPU)

Split Airport (LDSP/SPU), also referred to as Resnik Airport, is located approximately 19 kilometres west of Split city centre, near the town of Kaštela. The airport operates from a single modern passenger terminal that handles domestic and international commercial flights. It functions primarily as a main entry point for travellers visiting the central Dalmatian coastline and surrounding islands.
