Possibility of Implementing Non-conventional Aviation in Croatia

It is precisely the specific geo-traffic structure of Croatia that results in the need to implement non-conventional aviation. Improved connections between islands and the mainland would certainly insure their economic and demographic revitalisation. Conventional means of air traffic require substantial investments in the infrastructure and are environmentally unacceptable in places where tourism is to be developed free of pollution. The construction, however, of the infrastructure facilities needed by the non-conventional aviation, requires far less investing, being at the same time also more environmentally friendly. Apart from the commercial purpose, the non-conventional aviation fleet can be used for the search and rescue services, as well as in providing help in emergency medical situations. The fleet of the national flag-carrier, Croatia Airlines, does not meet the requirements of the regional aviation. The demand for air transport within regions is not high, but it does exist and therefore a transport means should be offered that would satisfy the needs of the population efficiently and at an acceptable price. The paper will analyse the parameters of the non-conventional air transport means that would satisfy the specific needs of the Republic of Croatia, in particular of the Adriatic coastal region.
