Pleso, International airport area in Velika Gorica, Croatia

The airport complex spans over 65,800 square meters with four baggage carousels, numerous check-in desks, and parking facilities for 1,250 vehicles.

The airport's first location was at Borongaj in 1928, later moving through Lucko before establishing its current position at Pleso in 1962.

The naming of the facility after President Franjo Tuđman in 1998 reflects the connection to Croatian political independence and national identity.

Direct bus services connect Zagreb central station to the airport terminal with trips taking 35 to 40 minutes and tickets priced at 8 euros.

During the 1991 Croatian War of Independence, the airport transformed into a United Nations humanitarian aid distribution center for the region.
