Air traffic is increasing, drones are increasing, but so are passenger complaints.

The article reports on the 2025 activity report of the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency, highlighting increased air traffic and drone operations in Croatia. It notes a 4.4% rise in flights compared to the previous year, along with a 6.28% increase in passengers. The busiest airports were in Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik. There was a 12% decline in cargo traffic and a record number of paragliding and skydiving flights. The agency recorded 10 aviation incidents and 27 legal violations, while over 1,200 safety-related reports were filed. Drone operators continued to grow, with 3,235 registered pilots and 3,147 candidates passing exams. However, regulatory oversight remains lacking, as collaboration with the State Inspectorate has not yet established market control. Passenger complaints rose by 18%, with common issues including adverse weather, bird strikes, and flight restrictions.
