About this route
Split to Zadar is 160 kilometres of motorway that behaves well in winter and badly in August, when the A1 and the Zadar approach both back up. Flown direct the sector is about 30 minutes along the coast, passing Šibenik, the Kornati archipelago and the Pašman channel.
An Airbus H130 is the usual aircraft for the distance and typical group size. Departures are from Split Airport (SPU) general aviation; arrivals are Zadar Airport (ZAD), a surveyed marina or resort pad, or a certified yacht deck in the Kornati area.
Both ends are domestic, so there is no clearance overhead — the leg is mostly used for yacht-charter starts in north Dalmatia, corporate site visits and same-day returns that would otherwise consume two half days of driving.
