Today, for second time in its history, Split Airport has welcomed the three-millionth passenger. The passenger arrived on Croatia Airlines flight OU 413 from Frankfurt. Her name is Mrs. Caroline Undseth.
It is the result of positive trend of growth in the passenger and air traffic numbers, particularly during the summer period. Namely, during first nine months, Split Airport records 6% growth of passenger traffic in relation to the same last year period. In July alone, over 723.000 passengers passed through Split Airport, what represents the record one-month number of passengers in the history, not only of Split Airport, but of Croatian airports in general. According to air carriers announcements, the trends of passenger and aircraft numbers growth will continue in the postseason, too.
On behalf of arrival of three-millionth passenger, Split Airport has organised a small party at which Mr. Luksa Novak, General Manager, congratulated the lucky passenger and presented her with the occasional gift. Also, on behalf of Croatia Airlines, Mr. Slaven Žabo, Director Commercial Division, handed her two return tickets on one of their flights, at choice of Mrs. Caroline Undseth.
