Grobničko Polje Airfield
Located just north-east of Rijeka, Grobničko Polje Airfield (LDRG) serves as a small general aviation aerodrome used primarily by private pilots, flight training operators and helicopter movements. While it does not accommodate larger business jets, the airfield can be useful for light aircraft and rotary operations accessing the Rijeka region.
The airfield features a single runway suitable for light general aviation aircraft, with operations typically limited to smaller piston aircraft, turboprops and helicopters. As such, Grobničko Polje is sometimes used for private helicopter transfers or recreational aviation flights operating in the Kvarner area.
Situated close to the E65 motorway, the airfield provides relatively quick access to Rijeka’s city centre, with transfer times generally around 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. Its proximity to the mainland also places it closer to the city than Rijeka Airport on nearby Krk Island.
Due to its runway limitations and infrastructure, most private jet charter flights to and from Rijeka operate through Rijeka Airport (RJK). However, Grobničko Polje remains a useful local aviation facility for light aircraft and helicopter operations serving the Kvarner Gulf region.

Rijeka International Airport
Private jet flights to and from Rijeka typically operate through Rijeka Airport (RJK / LDRI), located on the northern edge of Krk Island in Croatia’s Kvarner Gulf. The airport sits approximately 25 kilometres from Rijeka city centre and is connected to the mainland by the Krk Bridge, allowing transfers to the city in roughly 30 minutes in normal traffic conditions.
Rijeka Airport features a 2,500-metre runway, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of aircraft commonly used for private jet charter across Europe, including light jets, midsize business jets and larger long-range aircraft operating regional Adriatic routes. Ground handling for business aviation is available on request, with services typically including passenger assistance, aircraft parking, refuelling coordination and ground transport arrangements.
For private aviation travellers, Rijeka Airport functions as an efficient northern Adriatic gateway. In addition to the city itself, the airport provides convenient access to the Istrian Peninsula, Krk Island, Cres and the wider Kvarner Riviera, as well as nearby international destinations including Ljubljana, Venice and northern Italy.
Because of its position along the Adriatic coastline, private jet charter flights to Rijeka are frequently used as part of broader Mediterranean itineraries, connecting Croatia’s northern coast with destinations across Italy, Slovenia, Austria and the Balkans.
