Rijeka Airport is the fourth largest airport in the Republic. However, compared to other coastal airports, it lags immeasurably behind in terms of passenger traffic, cargo and aircraft operations. The problem of Rijeka Airport is in its position, namely Rijeka Airport is located on the island of Krk, which further complicates its traffic position. Another problem that occurs at Rijeka Airport is the sensuality of traffic, namely in the summer months, ie in the months when the tourist season is in the Republic of Croatia. when tourism is not represented at Rijeka Airport, extremely small numbers of passengers and aircraft operations are recorded. The greatest potentials for the development of Rijeka Airport are reflected in the development of transport infrastructure, which would improve transport connections and gain good preconditions for further development. The most important projects for Rijeka Airport are the construction of the Križišće-Žuta Lokva motorway, the construction of which would significantly improve the traffic position of Rijeka Airport and enable better transport connections with other coastal airports. The lowland railway project is also of great importance for Rijeka Airport. With this project, the City of Rijeka would strategically position itself excellently in terms of freight traffic, and all forms of traffic would benefit from it, including freight traffic at Rijeka Airport.
