SPU Split

How deep the SPU board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SPU. This reads the same 67 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 44of the 67 destinations are flown by one airline
• 36destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 31.3%of the destinations name Croatia Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SPU

33 airlines appear on the SPU board and they do not hold it evenly. Croatia Airlines is on 21 of the 67 destinations, 31.3 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 37.6 of the 73.6 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is easyJet on 13 destinations. 21 of the 33 airlines at SPU appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at SPU: one airline on 31.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 68.7 per cent spread across 32 airlines. A cancellation inside the Croatia Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 46 destinations Croatia Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the SPU board is daily

Of the 67 destinations, 31 are flown at least once a day and 36 are not, 6 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SPU board is flown 5 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: SPU to Trondheim (TRD) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 17.3 of the 73.6 departures a day, 23.5 per cent of the whole board. With 53.7 per cent of the 67 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of SPU where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 23 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from SPU

The desk holds the return direction for 60 of the 67 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into SPU runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Dubrovnik (DBV) at 0.57 out a day against 0.29 back and Bristol (BRS) at 1 out a day against 0.71 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 4 a day back into SPU against 0.29 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at SPU

SPU keeps Europe/Zagreb time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at SPU, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at SPU and still make a departure the same day.

The night at SPU

17 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from SPU that lands inside it leaves around 21:19, on a modelled block of 1h 41m. Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from SPU that lands inside it leaves around 22:15, on a modelled block of 1h 15m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from SPU that lands inside it leaves around 20:51, on a modelled block of 2h 09m. Those three departure times out of SPU are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where SPU turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Croatia country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 6 airport pair pages that start or end at SPU, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Split to Bâle/Mulhouse (BSL), Split to Bristol (BRS) and Split to Cologne (CGN).

Three courier postings name SPU as the airport a courier here flies from: Split, Zadar and Šibenik.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SPU already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 67 destinations above.
