Rijeka Airport (IATA: RJK, ICAO: LDRI) is an international airport serving the city of Rijeka and the wider Kvarner Bay region of Croatia. Despite being named after Rijeka, the airport is physically located on the island of Krk, near the town of Omišalj, making it one of the few airports in the world situated on an island.
The airport primarily handles seasonal charter and low-cost traffic during the summer tourist season, with significantly reduced operations in winter. Its location on Krk connects it to the mainland via the Krk Bridge, one of the longest concrete arch bridges in the world.
Rijeka Airport serves as an important entry point for tourists visiting the Kvarner Gulf, the island of Krk, and the broader Croatian Adriatic coast. Its throughput is modest compared to larger Croatian airports such as Split or Dubrovnik, but it plays a meaningful role in regional tourism.
