Flights to Zagreb
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Zagreb is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (ZAG), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 10,669-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport (MBX, 77 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport | ZAG | 11 km (7 mi) | 10,669 ft | 353 ft |
| Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport (regional) | MBX | 77 km (48 mi) | 8,202 ft | 876 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,669 ft, ZAG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 353 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
