Rijeka - Riviera Kvarner

1Terminal aera

We start our tour around the airport at the terminal area. On both sides of the terminal good views of the aircraft parked on the main apron can be obtained. Photography is best in the morning hours. The preserved aircraft can be found here as well.

214 Approach east side

From the terminal, head back to road 102, the main road connecting Krk Island with the shore. As the road is flanked by trees an open space has to be found to allow for decent views of aircraft approaching runway 14. Just before the intersection, in the curve, you can stop on the side of the road and watch the aircraft approaching over the trees, crossing the road. Photography from here is best in the morning here.

314 Approach overview

A more distant but interesting view of approach 14 is what spot 3 has to offer. From the terminal area, cross main road 102 and head to the north shore of Krk Island. Less than 1km from the threshold you can watch the aircraft approaching the island over the sea. Photography is possible from here as well, provided the aircraft are not too high and at its best in the late afternoon.

4West side runway 14/32

Going south on road 102 the exit for Omisalj will appear on your right. Just before this exit, a small dirt road on your left gives access to a crash gate. From here, you can pole off the aircraft parked near the termina. Views of the runway are possible here as well. The road into Omisalje is elevated above the tree tops and gives an overview of the terminal area. Aircraft climbing steep in take off can be photographed from here as well, at best in the late afternoon.
