Our Vision

​The company’s basic idea is to provide air transport services to the Adriatic Sea, as well as to introduce innovation in tourist offerings in the area through panoramic excursions.

The company's foundation

Split Air was founded 2003. In the first years of our operation our primary activities were aerial photography and aerial survey. Flights were performed with our Cessna 182 and we were offering our services to photographers who were looking for great opportunities to take photos of touristically attractive targets.

Aerial Survey

Those kinds of photos were used for touristic marketing purposes. A few years later, we started cooperation with Geokarta, a company specialized in geodetic projects. Their entusiasm and faith in new state of the art technology resulted in purchasing of an airborne digital camera system, specially designed for aerial survey missions. We have modified our airplane and successfully started flying aerial survey missions.

Skydiving

Another interesting activity offered by our company is skydiving. Our airplane has a skydiving kit installed, so it is technically acceptable to take skydivers up to 3000 meters so they can jump and enjoy such an adrenaline rush. Also, it is possible to organize tandem jumps, where the client is linked to the tandem master, so he/she can enjoy a jump without having to undergo days of training like individual skydivers have to.

Air Operator Certificate

In 2017 we have invested in equipping of another airplane, Cessna 172 and we have been issued an Air Operator Certificate that is allowing us to perform commercial panoramic flights from Sinj airfield.

since 2003
