NEWS FLASH

Split Airport has adopted a motion to be named Saint Jerome Airport, after the patron saint of the Split - Dalmatia County. “Our initiative bore fruit and I must thank the academic community, church dignitaries, and those from the cultural community from Split and our county for their support. Saint Jerome has landed at our airport”, Blaženko Boban, the Prefect of the Split - Dalmatia County said. Jerome was an early Christian priest, best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin. However, in Split he is even more famous for his alleged saying, “Forgive me Lord, for being a Dalmatian”. The decision comes just weeks after Dubrovnik Airport adopted the name Rudjer Bošković, after the eighteenth-century physicist. Croatia’s three largest airports now bear the names of three different individuals, including a former President, physicist and a priest.
