## Description

Croatia's third-busiest airport in 2025, Dubrovnik (IATA: DBV, ICAO: LDDU) handled a record of roughly 3.1 million passengers, trailing only Zagreb and Split. The field near Čilipi, about 20 km southeast of Dubrovnik's old town, is strongly seasonal and tourism-driven, served mainly in summer by Croatia Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa and easyJet. There are still no dedicated freighter flights; shipments travel as belly cargo on scheduled services. E-commerce has lifted mail and parcel volumes sharply, turning Dubrovnik into a regional distribution point. For schedulable air freight and larger consignments, the national cargo hub Zagreb (ZAG), around 450 km away, remains the reference.
