Zagreb International Airport (ZAG), known as Zagreb-Pleso-Velika Gorica Airport, is located about 15 kilometres south of the city centre, in the direction of Velika Gorica, and about 10 kilometres from the Zagreb railway station. Close to the airport is the A3 motorway.
The airport is changing its face thanks to the construction of the new terminal, which has been long awaited but is finally on its way. The new airport operator, Aeroporti di Parigi, wants to make Zagreb Airport a crucial hub both for connections within Croatia and a transit point within the Balkans.
The main airlines connecting Zagreb with the rest of Europe and the world are Croatia Airlines, Aeroflot, Air France, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines and Wizz Air, as well as cargo airlines such as Miniliner and Trade Air.
Pleso Airport is connected to the centre of Zagreb and the bus station by a Croatia Airlines shuttle bus which leaves every half hour. The bus stop is located at the main exit of international arrivals. Single tickets cost 25 kuna, about € 3.50. The journey time to the centre of Zagreb is about 25 minutes.
To get to Zagreb Airport by car, take the D3 road if you are coming from the centre, or the A3 if you are coming from outside the city. The journey time is approximately 20 minutes.
