Pula Airport Jet Charters

Pula Airport, also known as Zračna luka Pula in Croatian, is the principal international airport serving the picturesque city of Pula in Croatia. Conveniently located just 6 kilometers from the city center, this airport is a vital transportation hub for the region. In 2019, it efficiently catered to the needs of 777,568 passengers, reaffirming its significance as a gateway to Pula and the surrounding areas.

The airport also plays a crucial role as an alternative airport for certain parts of Slovenia and several cities in eastern Italy. Its accessibility and strategic position make it a preferred choice for travelers heading to destinations in Istria, including the renowned Brijuni National Park. Pula Airport’s rich history dates back to its initial military use, but it transitioned to a civilian airport on May 1, 1967. Notably, the airport underwent significant development, including the construction of a new terminal building in 1989, capable of accommodating up to 1 million passengers annually. However, the Croatian War of Independence led to a decline in passenger numbers during the early ’90s.

Despite challenges in its history, Pula Airport has seen consistent growth in passenger volume over the past three decades. The airport’s operations have a distinct seasonal character, primarily serving holidaymakers traveling to and from the region. The single-terminal facility offers various amenities, including café and snack bars, a duty-free shop, and, although it lacks jet bridges, it efficiently transfers passengers between the terminal building and aircraft, either by walking or shuttle bus. Moreover, Pula Airport’s favorable weather conditions throughout the year, coupled with lower flight volumes during the winter months, make it a preferred location for European carriers to conduct training flights.
