New airfield in Croatia - Island of Vis

I hope so. I’ll know a bit more by summer.

Rijeka Aiport that had started this project will probably pull out due to lack of finances caused by practically non-existing traffic at their airport (LDRI) since March last year. Apparently, the other large company (tourism business related – I guess I’ll be able to reveal the details soon) is willing to takeover the project. They definitely have the resources and knowledge how to get this done but the question is whether they are serious about it or it’s just an idea that somebody threw on the table during some management meeting. BTW local elections are scheduled for May this year and this is great topic to use in promotional and propaganda purposes

The interesting thing is that you can see the airfield at windy.com map if you zoom it enough.

Fingers crossed!

I’ve been keeping them crossed for four years because I hoped for the opening for last elections – that’s when I started this thread.

I visit this airfield (unfortunately still only from the air) from time to time and take the picture to check the grass

When looking on the Facebook page of the airfield it looks like people are landing and departing there.

It was happening four years ago but only for a brief period of time, prior to elections. New elections are in three weeks, we’ll see whether anything will change after this. A company that runs several marinas on Adriatic is interested in operating this airfield together with starting float-plane taxi operations.
