Brač Airport guide

Brač Airport sits on a high plateau near the village of Gornji Humac, in the interior of the island of Brač. Its single asphalt runway, 04/22, is 1,760 m long.

The airport is the youngest in Croatia, opened in 1993 with a 1,200 m runway suited to turboprops of up to 50 seats. The runway grew to 1,400 m in 1996 for Croatia Airlines and Adria Airways, and was rebuilt and lengthened to 1,760 m in 2018. That allows Embraer 170 and 190, Airbus A319 and Boeing 737-300 jets to land. A further extension to about 2,350 m has been planned. The current passenger building has been in use since 2007.

Traffic is small and seasonal. Scheduled flights link the island with Zagreb, Belgrade, Luxembourg, Bolzano and Bratislava in summer. Passenger numbers peaked at 33,759 in 2001, fell to 9,813 in 2015, then recovered to 30,170 in 2018. After a drop to 4,250 in 2020, the airport handled 19,073 passengers in 2023. The terminal has a caffe bar, a shop, free parking and a playroom for children.
