KRAPINA –ZAGORJE AIRPORT FOR SPORTS AND TOURIST ACTIVITIES Krapinsko-zagorska županija s motrišta infrastrukture zračnog prometa potpuno je nerazvijena. To je jedina županija koja nema ni jedan manji sportski aerodrom, letjelište ili zračnu luku. Sukladno tome, nakon provedenih istraživanja došlo se do zaključka da postoji potreba za aerodromom i to u svrhu: školovanja pilota, hangariranja malih zrkoplova, jedriličarstva, padobranstva balonaštva, aviomodelarstva te razvoju turizma i gospodarstva cijele županije KRAPINA –ZAGORJE AIRPORT FOR SPORTS AND TOURIST ACTIVITIES
