Franjo Tuđman International Airport, also known as Zagreb Airport (IATA: ZAG, ICAO: LDZA), is the largest and busiest international airport in Croatia. Commonly referred to as Pleso Airport it handled 2,587,798 passengers in 2015.
The airport is located some 10 km (6.2 mi) southeast of Zagreb Central Station at Velika Gorica. It is the hub for the Croatian flag carrier Croatia Airlines and Trade Air. A base of the Croatian Air Force and Air Defence is located within the airport complex, in barracks called "Colonel Marko Živković". Also, there is an administrative center of the Croatian Air Traffic Control.
The airport has been given to ZAIC consortium (Zagreb Airport International Company) in a 30-year concession under the terms of contract signed by the Government of Croatia and mentioned consortium. The contract includes financing, designing and construction of a new passenger terminal. For the purpose of managing the airport, ZAIC registered a company (Međunarodna zračna luka Zagreb d.d.) that is now the operator of the Airport.
The passenger terminal underwent major design upgrade, a new VIP terminal was added to the west of the current terminal in 2008, and a new unified facade (at the front of the terminal) was also added in 2009. The passenger terminal has a maximum capacity of around 2.5 million passengers per year with current traffic being around the 2.5 million mark. The main terminal building itself is rather small measuring only 200 m × 58 m (656 ft × 190 ft) or around 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft). The apron or airport ramp measures 950 m × 187 m (3,117 ft × 614 ft) and can accommodate around 15 medium and two wide body aircraft. The terminal is planned to accommodate low-cost flights after the construction of the second terminal.
