Croatian airports did not slow down even in February when they continued recording stellar results.
2019 continued with brilliant results for Croatia’s top airports, Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik, who filed the strongest February ever, reports Ex Yu Aviation on March 5, 2019.
It seems that Zagreb airport is right on schedule with following their plans and expectations for this year as they grew 2.9% after handling 372,351 travelers in January and February. Recall, Zagreb announced that they planned to record a 5% increase in passengers this year. Zagreb airport welcomed 181,154 passengers in February, which is otherwise known as one of the slowest and shortest months of the year. Zagreb’s February numbers are up 6.2% on 2018, while flight operations are up 5% (2,826), writes Ex Yu Aviation.
While construction is vigorously underway at Split airport, with the new terminal set to open in June this year, there is no time for slowing down. Not even in February. Namely, Split airport saw 34,825 passengers in February to achieve their busiest February on record. This is an increase of 13.7% from 2018. Also in line with their plans and expectations for 2019, Split airport welcomed 71,185 passengers in January and February this year, which is an increase of 10.7% compared to last year.
