Through modernization and technological processes, as well as digitalization and the improvement of transport infrastructure, air traffic is on the rise. However, it is subject to external risks that affect its development. Analyzing the results of the research, it was determined that Croatian air traffic in the period 2018-2022 had a positive growth trend, with the exception of 2020, in which COVID-19 was extremely pronounced and caused a decline in air passenger traffic in all indicators. Also, the research showed that the busiest airport in the Republic of Croatia is the Zagreb airport, which has the largest number of aircraft operations and transported passengers on an annual basis, followed by the airports in Split and Dubrovnik. These three airports play an important role in overall Croatian air traffic, while the air docks on Mali Lošinj and Brač achieve the worst results in air traffic. A recommendation for future research is to investigate the role of air docks in total air traffic and to measure the intensity of the impact of airports on air docks.
