Sažetak
The European low-cost carriers share in passenger traffic is getting higher each year. Their business model benefits from many aspects. Still, one of the most important aspects is usage of secondary airports. Those airports are mainly regional in character with relatively low passenger figures. With arrival of low cost carriers, traffic volume has greatly increased which brings additional load on airport infrastructure. Because of this extra load, additional planning of future development as well as extension of movement surfaces, primarily apron area, and terminal areas is necessary. Several/ow-cost carriers currently operate to Croatian airports, and with forthcoming regulation liberalization their number is expected to grow. The paper presents the increase in passenger traffic at European and Croatian airports generated by low-cost carriers, and its influence on development of airport infrastructure.
