Small general aviation airfield serving Croatia's Hvar Island.
Location
Hvar Island, Croatia
Hvar Airfield (ICAO: LDSH) is a small general aviation facility located on Hvar Island, one of Croatia's most popular Adriatic tourist destinations. The airfield primarily serves private aircraft, charter flights, and light aviation rather than scheduled commercial services, reflecting the island's geography and limited infrastructure.
Due to the island's terrain and the relatively short runway, the airfield accommodates only smaller aircraft. Most visitors to Hvar Island arrive by ferry or catamaran from Split rather than by air, making the airfield a supplementary access point primarily for private and charter operators.

Ground transport from the airfield connects to nearby towns on Hvar Island, though most inter-island travel relies on ferry connections to the Croatian mainland.
