Split Airport Transfers: Bus 37, Shuttle, Uber

Split’s main airport is Split Airport (SPU), in Kaštel Štafilić, 20 km from Split and 6 km from Trogir. The airport’s transport page lists public buses, an airport shuttle and taxis. It does not list a rail or metro connection, so the practical airport journey is by road. (Split Airport transport, checked 2026-09-28)

Promet Split’s line 37 connects Trogir, Split Airport and Split. It is the public-bus option for travellers staying near a suitable stop in Split or Trogir. Tickets can be bought through the Promet Split app or directly on a Promet bus. The line is a regular suburban service, so it does not take you to a hotel door; plan the final walk or local connection from the stop. (Promet Split airport line, checked 2026-09-28)

Platanus runs a direct airport shuttle to Split Main Bus Station. At the airport, board in Parking Zone P1 outside the arrivals exit. The bus makes no intermediate stops and ends beside Split’s train station and ferry port, about a five-minute walk from the Old Town. This is the most convenient bus for a ferry connection or accommodation near the waterfront. (Platanus airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

Taxis wait beside the main terminal while the airport is operating. Uber provides app-based pickup and advance reservations, with the exact meeting point shown in the app after requesting the ride. Both car options can take you directly to accommodation, while bus 37 and Platanus finish at transport hubs. (Split Airport transport, checked 2026-09-28) (Uber SPU pickup, checked 2026-09-28)

Promet publishes a 50-minute driving time between Split and the airport, and 10 minutes between Trogir and the airport. The Split figure describes the airport-bus route, not a complete hotel journey. Intermediate Kaštela stops, traffic, luggage handling and the final walk or local bus add time after the published airport-to-city leg. (Promet Split airport line, checked 2026-09-28)

Platanus publishes approximately 30 minutes from Split Airport to Split Main Bus Station, depending on traffic. The direct bus ends at the station rather than at your accommodation, although the station is next to the ferry port and train station and close to the Old Town. Keep extra time for a ferry check-in, a waterfront walk or a second local connection. (Platanus airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

For the return trip, Platanus also publishes approximately 30 minutes from Split Main Bus Station to the airport, depending on traffic. The bus leaves from platform 1 beside the station entrance and arrives next to the airport’s main entrance. Platanus recommends arriving at least two hours before domestic or European flights and three hours before international flights. (Platanus city-to-airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

Uber does not publish a fixed SPU-to-Split journey time. Its airport page gives a live estimate after you enter the pickup and destination, with the result affected by the requested vehicle, route, traffic, tolls, city fees and demand. Use that estimate for the complete car journey rather than reusing a bus or shuttle figure. (Uber SPU pickup, checked 2026-09-28)

The airport warns that summer road traffic can be heavy, especially towards Split, and advises starting the journey to the airport at least 90 minutes before the desired airport arrival time. Treat that as a planning instruction for departures, not as a guaranteed transfer time from every Split address. (Split Airport transport, checked 2026-09-28)

Promet’s current airport-line page lists €3.00 between Split and Split Airport and €2.50 between Trogir and the airport. The published route fare is separate from the journey time: keep the destination with the price when comparing Split and Trogir. Promet directs passengers to its app or bus service for public-bus ticket purchases. (Promet Split airport line, checked 2026-09-28)

Promet’s tariff document in force from June 2026 also distinguishes sales channels. The listed fare for Split is €3.00 when bought from the driver, while the tariff table lists lower prices for value, online, ticket-machine or ticket-office channels according to the applicable zone. Check the current Promet fare document or app before purchase because the airport-line page itself highlights the route fare rather than every sales-channel condition.

Platanus lists €10 for a one-way ticket and €15 for a return ticket. Children under six travel free, and the ticket includes one suitcase. Buy online or at the operator’s airport or bus-station sales point; the driver does not sell tickets on board. Show the mobile QR code when boarding.

Platanus’s current page has conflicting return-ticket validity: the timetable says 15 days, while its FAQ says open and indefinite. Confirm the terms shown at checkout before buying a return ticket. (Platanus airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

The airport does not publish a fixed taxi fare for Split on its transport page. Ask the taxi operator for the applicable price before leaving. Uber shows a live estimate before an on-demand request and an upfront price for a reservation; the amount changes with the route, vehicle, traffic-related factors and demand. (Split Airport transport, checked 2026-09-28) (Uber SPU pickup, checked 2026-09-28)

Promet’s line-37 timetable separates workdays, Saturdays, and Sundays or holidays, with distinct tables for Trogir–Airport–Split and Split–Airport–Trogir. Check the airport-to-Split direction after landing, or the reverse table for a departure flight; the departure pattern changes by calendar day. (Promet Split airport line, checked 2026-09-28)

The workday table lists more frequent daytime departures than most Saturday and Sunday periods. Promet links a map with stop locations and estimated arrivals; use it to match the terminal stop to the correct direction and day. (Promet Split airport line, checked 2026-09-28)

Platanus’s airport shuttle is flight-linked, not a fixed clock-face route: its published departure is about 30 minutes after each arriving flight. Check the date-specific timetable because displayed times are estimates based on scheduled arrivals. (Platanus airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

For the return to SPU, Platanus says departures from Split Main Bus Station are arranged in line with departing flights, from the first morning flight to the last flight at night, every day. The operator publishes a date-specific timetable rather than promising one fixed departure interval. Board at platform 1 and choose a departure that leaves enough time for check-in and security. (Platanus city-to-airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

An airport shuttle ticket is valid for any Platanus departure on the travel day, and the operator says a delayed passenger can take the next shuttle to the city. The flight-linked service is useful when the landing time changes, but the published approximate departure still depends on the arriving flight schedule and road conditions. (Platanus airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

Promet’s line 37 has a separate Sunday-and-holiday timetable, with a different pattern from workdays and Saturdays. Check the date and direction in the current operator timetable; do not assume weekday spacing applies to a Sunday arrival. (Promet Split airport line, checked 2026-09-28)

Platanus includes weekends and holidays and links airport departures to arriving flights, approximately 30 minutes after landing. Check the date-specific page for a Sunday or late-night flight because the displayed times are estimates. (Platanus airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)

Uber states that SPU service is available 24/7, although driver arrival times can be longer for early or late flights. You can request after landing or reserve up to 90 days ahead; Uber’s flight-tracking feature can pass schedule changes to the driver. Follow the pickup instructions shown in the app rather than walking to an assumed meeting point. (Uber SPU pickup, checked 2026-09-28)

Airport taxis are available near the main terminal during Split Airport operating hours. The airport page publishes no overnight taxi timetable, so it does not establish a guaranteed taxi-rank service for every late arrival. For a flight outside the bus timetable, check Platanus’s flight-linked schedule or reserve a car service before travelling. (Split Airport transport, checked 2026-09-28)

For a morning flight, Platanus departs from Split Main Bus Station on a schedule aligned with departing flights and recommends arriving at least two hours before domestic or European flights, or three hours before international flights. Add time for the walk from accommodation to the station and for summer traffic on the road to SPU. (Platanus city-to-airport shuttle, checked 2026-09-28)
