Frequently Asked Questions

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Zadar Airport?

Yes. Zadar Airport’s standard operating hours are 06:00-22:00 daily. After 22:00, arrivals or departures are possible only on request and subject to airport permission.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Zadar?

It’s best to book several weeks in advance for Zadar, especially during July and August, when Croatia’s Adriatic coast sees peak demand. Traffic is also high during cultural events such as the Zadar Summer Theatre Festival. LunaJets often succeeds in arranging flights to Zadar at short notice, but advance planning ensures greater choice.

Can I bring my pet on a private jet to Zadar?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Zadar. Dogs, cats and ferrets are permitted entry provided they meet EU rules: your animal must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and travel with either an EU Pet Passport or an official veterinary health certificate. If you are arriving from outside the EU, your pet must be declared on arrival and may be checked by border authorities at the private terminal. Certain high-risk or restricted breeds are not accepted. Because requirements can change, your LunaJets advisor will confirm the latest regulations and ensure all documents are in order before your flight.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Zadar?

Entry rules for Zadar are the same as for any international arrival into Croatia and the wider Schengen area. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may enter freely without a visa. Travellers from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan or Singapore can usually visit visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Nationals of countries outside these groups must obtain a Schengen visa in advance. From 2026, visitors who currently enjoy visa-free entry will also need an ETIAS travel authorisation before travelling.

Are there alternate airports to consider when flying private to Croatia’s Adriatic coast?

Yes. Zadar is the best option for the northern Dalmatian coast and islands such as Pag, Dugi Otok and Kornati. If your destination is further south, Split Airport may be more convenient, while Dubrovnik Airport serves the southern Adriatic and Montenegro border. LunaJets will recommend the most suitable airport depending on the exact resort or region you are travelling to.
