The long-held dream of building an airport within easy reach of Šibenik has just moved a step closer.
The project has now been integrated into Croatia’s national Air Transport Strategy, along with the administrative planning for both Šibenik-Knin County and Drniš, the nearest main town to the proposed site at Pokrovnik.
The location is a 20-minute drive inland from Šibenik, on a large plot that is state-owned. Although Split, an hour or so’s drive away, is Croatia’s busiest airport, its location near densely populated Kaštela and Trogir may not be favourable if any further expansion is needed.
The so-called ‘Heart of Dalmatia’ project is right by the Etnoland theme park. Popular Krka National Park is also close, with the proposed Dinara Nature Park nearby.
