Zagreb Airport Info is an independent guide to Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG) in Velika Gorica, Croatia. We are not the official airport site; that is zag.aero. We do not run ads, take affiliate commissions or accept payment for coverage. This page explains who is behind the site and how the work gets done.
Last updated: May 25, 2026. This page is reviewed yearly or whenever the editorial process, sources or commercial stance changes.
What This Site Is
Zagreb Airport Info is a practical traveller's guide to Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG). The "Zagreb Airport" SERP is dominated by the official site (zag.aero), which is minimal on the traveller angle; Wikipedia, which is encyclopedic rather than action-oriented; and commercial aggregators optimised for booking conversions. Our pages cover the practical questions on the ground at ZAG with current 2026 figures. Whether the need is general airport information or airport transfers, the answer is one or two clicks deep, not buried under a booking widget.
Who Runs This Site
The site is published by the Zagreb Airport Info editorial team, a small group with collective experience in travel and aviation content. We have chosen anonymous accountability over named authorship: the work is the team's, not any one individual's. If a fact is wrong, the team is responsible and the page gets corrected. We do not commission paid contributors and we do not publish sponsored or guest-authored content.
How We Fact-Check
Every page goes through the same review before publishing and on each update. The four steps below are what "Reviewed by the Zagreb Airport Info editorial team" actually means.
Cross-referencing against the official source
The first check is against the official airport site at zag.aero. Operating hours, services, terminal layout, the airline list and contact details come from there. Where the airport does not publish a figure (for example, shuttle hours at Velika Gorica hotels), we go to the operator.
Verifying current figures and prices before publishing
Prices, schedules and route lists date fastest. We cross-check each against at least two current sources. For 2025 traffic figures that meant the official airport statistics, EX-YU Aviation News and Croatian aviation reports. Where two sources disagree, we resolve the conflict or publish the range honestly.
On-site observation where possible
Some questions cannot be answered from a desk: where bus 290 stops, what security looks like at 06:30 on a Tuesday, whether a kiosk takes cards. On-site observation feeds the practical detail in our airlines flying from Zagreb guide and the transport pages.
What we do NOT do
We do not republish airline press releases as our own findings. We do not paraphrase Wikipedia into article body. We do not chase clickbait queries we cannot answer well. We do not write a page until we can stand behind every named fact. And we do not publish a page just because the SEO opportunity is there.
The Sources We Use
The table below names the sources our pages cite. If a stronger source exists for a fact, we use it.
| Source | What we use it for |
|---|---|
| zag.aero (official Zagreb Airport site) | Operating hours, services, official traffic figures, airline list, terminal facts. Migrated from zagreb-airport.hr; we cite the current domain. |
| Croatian Civil Aviation Agency (HACZ) | Passenger rights enforcement, Croatian regulatory updates, certified airline status. |
| Wikipedia (Zagreb Airport) | Historical context and sourced statistics cross-check. Used to verify provenance, never as article-body source. |
| EX-YU Aviation News | Route announcements, schedule changes, capacity and concession news for ZAG and the region. |
| Flightradar24 and FlightAware | Real-time arrival and departure data we route readers to (no live board on this site). |
| Carrier sites (Croatia Airlines, Ryanair, others) | Airline policies: baggage, check-in cut-off, cabin allowance, ticketing rules. |
| European Commission | EU regulations 261/2004 (passenger rights), 1107/2006 (reduced mobility) and other EU rules. |
| Visit Zagreb and the Croatian National Tourist Board | Tourism information, Advent dates, event calendars, post-earthquake restoration status. |
| On-site observation | Terminal walkthroughs, signage, queue times, where the bus 290 stop actually is. |
How Often We Update
Every page carries a "Last updated" date that reflects when it was last reviewed against current sources, not just when it was touched. The cadence is three-tier: travel and tourism pages get a quarterly review; schedules, fares and price-sensitive content get monthly checks; material changes (a new airline, a terminal renovation, a regulatory update) trigger an immediate update. When a page is updated, the date moves and the change is reflected in the body and the schema.
Independence and Disclosures
The site has no commercial relationships. To make that concrete:
- We do not run display ads on any page.
- We do not have affiliate links: no Booking.com, no Skyscanner, no AirHelp, no rental-car commission tags, no aggregator referrals.
- We do not accept payment for placement, coverage, link insertions or guest posts.
- We are not the official Zagreb Airport site. The official site is zag.aero.
- We do not collect personal data beyond what is disclosed in our privacy policy.
If any of this changes, the change will be stated on this page first.
Corrections and Contact
If you spot a stale fact, a wrong price, a closed business named as open or a translated street name we got wrong, please report it. The "Spot something out of date?" link in every page byline points here.
How to flag an error
Email the address on the contact page. Include the page URL, the specific text that is wrong, and a link to an authoritative source if you have one. A one-line "Stone Gate closed since March 2026, see [link]" is the most useful format.
What happens after you report one
We read every report and act on the ones we can verify against an official source. A verified correction triggers an edit, a "Last updated" date refresh and an internal change-log note. We aim to act within a few business days; complex cases can take longer. We do not reply individually.
General inquiries
For anything that is not a correction (partnership questions, press, technical issues), use the same contact page. Link-exchange or paid-placement requests receive no reply, consistent with the independence stance above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Zagreb Airport Info the official Zagreb Airport website?
No. The official airport website is zag.aero (the domain migrated from zagreb-airport.hr). This site is an independent guide for travellers, not the airport's official channel.
How do you make money if there are no ads or affiliate links?
The site runs on the editorial team's time and a small infrastructure cost. We chose not to monetise through ads or affiliate commissions because that compromises which sources we recommend. If this changes, we will state it here first.
How current is the information on this site?
Each page carries a "last updated" date from its last verified review. Travel pages get a quarterly review; schedules, prices and route information get monthly checks. Major changes trigger immediate updates.
I noticed an error on a page. What do I do?
Use the corrections link in any page byline, or write via the contact page. We read every report and act on the ones we can verify against an official source. We do not reply individually but we update the page when a correction lands.
