The Shortest Flight in Europe? Seaplanes Connect Split and Airport in Just 3 Minutes

Croatia has undergone an aviation revolution in the last 12 months with the introduction of the first scheduled commercial seaplane service in Europe for 70 years, but has can it also now claim the shortest commercial flight in Europe? According to published schedules by Aeorocroatia on October 10, 2015, European Coastal Airlines introduced a new connection between downtown Split its Resnik seaport by Split Airport, with a flight time of just three minutes. 

The published price for the flight is 149 kuna (a little under 19 euro) includes a short shuttle transfer to Split Airport, some 500m away. While the service may add a level of convenience for those wanting to travel to and from the airport, it is also likely to appeal to tourists wanting to experience this rare method of transport and arrive in style. 

While the core business plan has been to open a network of seaports on Croatia’s coast and islands for transfer purposes, ECA has carried a significant number of passengers who have flown both for the experience and spectacular views the flights offer of Croatia’ spectacular coast. 

At three minutes, is this the shortest commercial flight in Europe?
