Split Airport (SPU) lies at Kaštel Štafilić, 24 km by road west of Split's centre. An airport shuttle runs after every flight, Promet bus 37 passes the airport all day, and the drive takes about 28 minutes.
Short answer: the quickest public option is the Platanus airport shuttle: €10.00 one way, leaving about 30 minutes after each flight and reaching the main bus station next to the ferry port in about 30 minutes. The cheapest is Promet Split bus 37 (Trogir – Airport – Split): €2.00 in the app or €4.00 from the driver, every 20 minutes on weekdays, but slower with many stops. By car it is 24 km, about 28 minutes without traffic. Our private transfer costs €50 per car (1–3 passengers) and €65 per van (4–8).

The airport's own website links to the Platanus shuttle, which follows the arrivals schedule: the bus leaves about 30 minutes after every flight arrival, from the first flight to the last. You board at the North parking lot by the airport entrance. A one-way ticket costs €10.00 and a return €15.00; children under 6 travel free and one suitcase is included. Tickets are sold online or at the Platanus booth in front of the bus (cash or card), not by the driver. The bus ends at Split main bus station after about 30 minutes, beside the ferry port for Hvar, Brač and Šolta and a short walk from Diocletian's Palace and the Riva.
Promet Split line 37 runs Trogir – Airport – Split. In the timetable valid from 8 September 2025, buses leave Trogir every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from 04:00 to 23:45, and stop at the airport a few minutes later. The airport sits in the Kaštela fare area, so a Split–Kaštela single costs €2.00 in the Promet Split app or at a ticket office and €4.00 bought from the driver, valid for 90 minutes (fares valid from 1 June 2026). It is a local bus with many stops along the coast, so it takes clearly longer than the shuttle and has little room for luggage.
Taxis wait near the main terminal building while the airport is open; the fare is charged by the meter. By road the airport is 24 km from the centre, about 28 minutes without traffic, mostly along the D8 coast road through Kaštela and Solin. In summer the D8 gets slow. Diocletian's Palace is a pedestrian zone, so cars stop at its edge, by the Riva or the port.

Travelling light or catching a ferry: the Platanus shuttle at €10.00 is the obvious choice, as it runs after every flight and ends next to the ferry port. On a tight budget with a small bag: bus 37 from €2.00, if you do not mind a slower ride. With children, several suitcases, a hotel away from the bus station or a group of four or more, a private transfer saves the walk with luggage; one van for €65 covers up to eight people.
