Dubrovnik Airport (Croatian: Zračna luka Ruđer Bošković Dubrovnik; IATA: DBV, ICAO: LDDU), also referred to as Cilipi Airport, is the international airport of the town of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The airport is located approximately 15.5 km from Dubrovnik city center to the east. It was the third-busiest airport in Croatia in 2019 after Zagreb Airport and Split Airport in terms of passenger throughput. It has the country's longest runway, allowing it to accommodate heavy long-haul aircraft. The airport is a major destination for leisure flights during the European summer holiday season.
The current Dubrovnik Airport was opened in 1962. During the Serbian aggression on Croatia, Dubrovnik airport was completely devastated and equipment was stolen. After the war airport reconstruction began in several phases. The expansion and upgrade of Dubrovnik airport includes the integration of the existing terminals into a new terminal and various other construction projects. These are a new seasonal passenger terminal, office building and commercial aviation terminal in the east apron zone, apron expansion, runway and taxiway renovations, relocation of the fuel farm, and enclosed facilities for maintenance, operations and ground equipment, construction of a public garage and a new aviation fuel tank, including an underground pit system for fuel filling, runway reconstruction, taxiway reconstruction and expansion, construction of two new rapid exit ways, west apron expansion, new apron construction on the west for commercial aviation, a new east apron for general aviation, and development of aircraft maintenance and operation facilities, in addition to hangars. Finally, the project includes multi-level parking garages, security check and shipment of luggage, as well as jet bridges. The last of the current reconstruction plan (runway reconstruction) was finished in 2023.
Dubrovnik Airport now consists of three terminal areas, A, B and C. The spacious new Terminal C replaced Terminal A which has been permanently closed for passenger traffic and is now being used solely as a baggage sorting facility. The new Terminal C is located next to the existing Terminal B building which handles arriving passengers. The two have been combined into a single functioning unit. Future airport plans call for an extensive commercial zone and a four-star airport hotel, and long-term plans call for a new runway and the conversion of the existing runway into a taxiway.
Dubrovnik,LDDU scenery:
Extremely detailed photoreal scenery of the airport (outside and inside the terminal) with all custom made objects and clear textures based on high resolution photos, fully functionall jetways, default ground services with custom LDDU vehicle textures, correct mesh of the airport, real approach lightpoles, correct and functional localiser and glide RW 11 (tested with default A320 NEO and Fenix A320), good adaptation to MSFS default Dubrovnik town upgrade pack, nav. maps etc. Scenery includes all modifications and reconstructions of the real airport until January 2024.
Further to my previous comment, Davor has wasted no time in resolving the issue previously reported and I am absolutely delighted to say the MSFS2024 version works flawlessly.
Unfortunately, I was a little hasty in purchasing iniBuilds rendition of this airport as I didn't expect this work to be completed so quickly.
To be honest, my initial impression of iniBuilds version was somewhat disappointing, some low res textures, lack of detail and ambience.
There is no doubt, in my opinion, which rendition is the better and anyone interested in picking up LDDU can now safely add Davor's version to your collection with confidence
Thank you Davor for a really nice airport scenery
I have been enjoying this beautiful scenery in MSFS2020 since first released (hence 5 stars) but buyers beware, it does say, MSFS2024 Compatible but unfortunately will not even load in MSFS2024 so, if you want it for 2020, grab yourself a bargain but you may have to wait for dev if you want to get it up and running in MSFS2024.
the airport is quite nice but too expensive, textures are too white and i hope they can work on the taxi indications as is still not possible to to taxi using BATC...
Beautiful and atmospheric rendition of this airport on a magic location….one star off ….performance is heavy (microstutters during taxi and takeoff and BATC could not find taxi routes
