Eight days earlier than in 2014, the Split Airport on Wednesday saw its millionth passenger this year. It was a passenger on a Croatia Airlines flight to Zurich, according to a report in Poslovni.hr.

This year's millionth passenger at Split Airport was Swedish citizen Satumaarika Emmesjoe who, together with her family, spent her holidays in Dalmatia.

Noting that this year's millionth passenger was welcomed eight days earlier than last year, representatives of the Split Airport say that the total passenger traffic this year is 11 percent better compared to the same period last year.

At a small ceremony, staff of the Split Airport presented the Swedish passenger with a commemorative gift voucher worth 300 euro which can be used in a duty-free-shop at the airport, while Croatia Airlines gave her two return tickets for a flight of her choice.

The lucky passenger said she was pleasantly surprised by the award and that she did not expect such a beautiful end to her holidays in Croatia. She said that she had wonderful time and that she and her family will certainly return to Croatia in the future.

I am not an expert on flight schedules, but even I can see that there is a trend developing...

More than 80 destinations servicing Split this summer, from 43 different carriers. Impressive stuff, and many destinations are flying to the Dalmatian capital for the first time. 

But another story, which is also worth monitoring. Having made their seasonal plans, a few airlines are putting on extra flights for the peak season. The latest is Iberia from Madrid, which will add a fourth weekly flight from July 27, according to Aerocroatia - schedule below. 

As previously reported on the site, there has been a significant upswing in flights from France to Split for the 2013 season, with almost 20 French cities connected to the Dalmatian capital. 

More good news for French tourists wanting to visit Dalmatia today, as Transavia will increase its flights from Paris Orly to Split from July 15 to September 2, according to Aerocroatia. Flight schedule above. 

Split airport is getting busier! With tourism on the Dalmatian coast increasing, more and more airlines are flying into Split, bringing more passengers through the airport.

And yet, despite the increasing amount of traffic coming through the airport, information is relatively hard to find about services and general information. Please find all relavent information about all aspects of the airport (with contact details) below. Much of the information is taken from the official Split airport website.
