Civil Airfield Hvar (LDSH)

Hvar (LDSH) is an uncontrolled grass airfield requiring PPR, which can be arranged via WhatsApp at +385 91 250 8007. The runway is generally long, hard, and flat, but surface quality varies: it can be bumpy and, at times, grass and weeds reach up to 50 cm high on and near the runway and parking area. High grass in the parking area increases the risk of propeller strikes and may hide concrete tie-down anchors; hand-parking is advisable. There is no fence or regular staff presence, and operations are typically self-handled without a flight information service. Payment for landing and parking is possible via AEROPS.

Landing fees are about €20, with parking about €20 per night. Example: landing about €20; parking about €20 per night. No fuel or maintenance services are available on site; refueling requires using canisters from the INA station in Jelsa. Customs/immigration must be completed at another airport before arrival or after departure.

Car rental is available through Rapidus.hr in Stari Grad, with pick-up or drop-off at the airfield for around €30; contact Marko at +385 95 3488 492 or +385 92 198 5992 (WhatsApp). Taxis to Stari Grad cost around €25 and take about 7–30 minutes depending on mode; walking distance to Stari Grad is approximately 2–3 km (20–30 minutes). Accommodation options exist in Stari Grad, which offers restaurants, a harbor, bike rentals, and access to other parts of the island.

The airfield has minimal infrastructure—no security or fencing—and overnight stays may require extra caution due to hidden obstacles in grass areas. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
