Jung Sky Team
We love what we do and we really care about doing it the right way. Being proud of the service we're providing has been our main mission for 14 years now and we're really thankful to our numerous clients and passengers who place their trust in us each and every day.
We are Jung Sky. It's nice to meet you.
Co-founder and co-owner of the company
Apart from being a civilian pilot, capt. Krešo holds a Master's degree in mechanical engineering and is a motor vehicle constructor and aeronautics engineer by vocation. He used to work as a flight instructor and before he founded Jung Sky with Vedran, he flew the Fokker 100.
One of his earliest memories in life are related to observing aircrafts and his desire to fly. He also remembers the time when he enjoyed composing all sorts of small aircrafts and he really loved to draw. Mainly aircrafts, but also pretty much anything associated with transport or construction.
He's quite a perfectionist by nature and does not like injustice. He's also not a fan of thinking or acting in patterns, but rather always tries to think in a slightly different and innovative way.
He's a gourmet and loves high-quality beers and wines. He adores music and actually has a special connection with it. Once upon a time he was a singer in an unknown rock band, while as a student he spent 3 years as a tenor in an academic choir where he discovered the ingenuity and beauty of classical music. He generally prefers rock, but from time to time he also likes to explore some alternative, different directions.
His biggest love is his family with whom he would love to spend more time. He enjoys being around friends although relaxes best when he's alone, observing some beautiful seaside view or any other extraordinary landscape. When he manages to catch some free time, he loves to fly small planes, e.g. Cessna 150, because that feeling, he states, is like being in a parallel world that knows no problems.
Co-founder and co-owner of the company
Although a professional geek by occupation, he ended up in the world of aviation. Nevertheless, computer bits and bytes still obey him without question. He on the other hand listens to his wife Jasna, although he does like to run away and go skiing with the guys and/or the kids every once in a while.
He’s a great aficionado of nautical activities which he practices with his family as much as possible. He also compels himself to go running on a regular basis, he likes cycling and is engaged in astrophotography. He doesn’t like when that wonderful hobby gets confused with astrology. Not one bit.
You can always count him in for a hot barbecue and a cold beer which actively reverses the effects of the before mentioned recreational activities.
JS team member since:
April / 2010
Being someone who’s always in a great mood and smiling practically all the time, Jasna’s reputation as the most positive and most cheerful person in (& out of) the office is very much deserved.
A happy marriage with two kids is certainly one of the reasons behind her smiles. She is also in love with the summer, the sun and the sea, so she uses that time of the year to ‘stock up’ on positive energy.
The only place for darkness in her life are the horrors and thrillers which she singles out as her favorite movie genres, although her favorite movie is I-had-the-time-of-my-life Dirty Dancing.
She traveled a lot, seen many countries and says her affection towards Dubai and New York is, to this day, still unmatched.

He’s been in aviation his entire life although, when talking with him, you won’t see any signs of burnout.
On the contrary. He loves the fact there are no two identical days in this industry. It boosts his energy and motivation.
“I can’t imagine myself doing something else. Without the everyday adrenaline, I would probably collapse”, he states.
He believes a great team is the backbone of everything, so investing in people is by far the best investment you can do.
He doesn’t like to spend weekends in Zagreb, so he often visits the seaside during summer or the mountains during winter. He often goes cycling, likes badminton and loves a good barbecue with friends.
Music is an important part of his life and when the adrenalin starts to decline, he puts on Skunk Anansie.
Following Vedran’s example, he also listens to Jasna, no questions asked :)

Capt. Obrazovic (nicknamed ‘Obre’) has been a pilot since he was 16. He’s a longtime president of Aero Club Velika Gorica and he has two hobbies: sports aviation and road cycling which he enjoys as much as possible.
He’s a big fan of the Apple brand and somewhat of a connoisseur of rock music and all its derivatives. From time to time, he also likes to indulge himself with classical music and some alternative musical directions from Croatia and the Balkan area.
He’s loves handball, football and Dinamo FC, although his favorite color is not blue, but orange :)
He’s definitely a summer-guy, he loves Adriatic fish and olive oil and is happiest when in central Dalmatia (Croatia). When thirsty, he’ll pick mineral water with lemon almost every time.
He’s been happily married for over 20 years now and is a father of a 9-year old son who, Obre proudly states, is a natural in mathematics and football.
JS team member since:
May / 2014
Capt. Ante is happily married and a father of two, actively in aviation since he was 18 years old. He graduated in July 2000 as a military pilot after which he remained in the military the next 9 years.
Outside the cockpit, he is very active.
He likes hiking and swimming which helps him successfully achieve fitness balance because - he has no problem admitting it - he loves food, loves making pizzas and likes almost all types of beer.
He’s a fan of a good espresso, enjoys watching a good boxing or a tennis match and is very good at chess (but he’s aware that’s perhaps just his imagination).
JS team member since:
June / 2018
The first thing we learned about Andro is actually one of the most intriguing pieces of information we’ve discovered about Jung Sky people through this team page.
Believe it or not, before he set his mind to become a pilot, Andro worked in geodesy for 13 years. We haven’t ‘dug’ further into the reasons for this major change, but maybe we will in one of our future blogposts :)
He loves hiking and cycling, enjoys riding his 40-year-old Vespa and admits he can’t get enough of the view of the Alps from the air.
After a hard day of flying, the thing he’s looking forward to the most are the charms of a local cuisine, and he says that – for a long time now - he has been planning to bicycle through all the areas he usually flies above, although he still hasn’t managed the time to actually do it.
JS team member since:
July / 2023
The newest of captains who joined our team in his free time enjoys visiting the local air club "Koroški Aeroklub Slovenj Gradec", where he started his pilot career and where – as a flight instructor - he still participates in the training of young pilots.
He enjoys cycling and occasional hiking, and states that for relaxation and recharging, his first choice always is to visit Istria, Croatia. When it comes to music, he is a fan of the 80s, especially the good old rock’n’roll.
He loves to fly to the airports in the Alps – Sion, Samedan, Innsbruck and Chambéry, and also likes the smaller, more challenging airports on the Greek islands.
JS team member since:
September / 2018
Lovro is one of the biggest aviation lovers you’ll ever meet and since he has been involved in aviation his whole life, the last few years he really dedicated himself to making a career in it.
Besides exploring the European skies as a Jung Sky FO, every once in a while he pilots around Croatia and really enjoys flying above the seaside and the islands, especially with his father who introduced him with the aviation world in the first place.
Besides airplanes, he is interested in automotive sports and tries to follow it whenever he finds time.
He’s got a very good eye for photography so it's not rare to see his photos of Jung Sky jets on our social media. He photos everything and anything, although he’s happiest when he captures great shots of the sky at night and stormy weather, including lightning. He also loves to make a good barbecue with his family so he tries to find the time for it whenever possible.

Adam is a true aficionado of nature and outdoor activities. His hobbies include diving, mountain climbing, sailing, and skiing. He’s even tried parachuting. His fascination of airplanes started when he was a little boy and says he knew right away that piloting is the thing he truly wants to do in life.
He considers himself a gourmet, likes to cook and trying out different recipes. He loves to explore new places, new cultures and the exciting depths of the sea which is why it is not surprising that, when confronted with the question 'What would he be if he wasn’t a pilot“ his answer is: a professional diver.
"I worked as a 'divemaster' for two seasons, although I have not been doing it professionally since then. However, I'm still very passionate about it and would like to learn as much as possible about the sea world in Croatia as well as the rest of the world.“
He devotes his free time to the outdoors with a special emphasis on hiking, an activity in which he often tests his physical and mental limits. But says the viewpoint from the top is always a more than enough of an award.
He is especially looking forward to his first flight to Palma de Mallorca.
JS team member since:
April / 2023
Music is an indispensable part of his everyday life. He likes Myles Kennedy, loves playing the guitar and he even sings every once in a while.
He is a cat-person, a major Lord of The Rings fan and loves a good cup of coffee. He will rarely turn down a game of chess and – check this out – an arm-wrestling duel!
Says he fell in love with both activities thanks to his friend and best man whom he still cannot beat either in chess or in arm-wrestling, but he is getting closer. (Fingers crossed Dominik! Hint: You will be able to practice chess on your shifts with Capt. Ljubas 😊)
He is especially looking forward to his first flight to Samedan / St.Moritz, but is also generally excited about flying over the Alps and any type of mountainous terrain.

"As a child, I was really fascinated by airplanes and the view from the cockpit," says Karlo and adds that, along with traveling, his biggest passion are adrenaline sports.
"My biggest hobby is motorcycling, specifically speedway, and I inherited that love from my parents and my brother." At one time he even competed professionally in speedway, and today he likes to ride everything with one, two or four wheels, never mind whether if it is on water or in the snow. In addition to his hobbies, he likes to spend time with friends and family and if there’s a possibility to add a full table of sea food in the mix – that’s a combination that always makes him absolutely thrilled.
As a new pilot for Jung Sky, he can't wait to fly to London City Airport, and he's looking forward to getting to know Nice. If he did not live in Croatia, he would prefer to live in the US, specifically Florida because of the endless possibilities of interesting experiences and the warm climate.
JS team member since:
May / 2023
A man of many hobbies. Loves swimming, skiing, riding a motorcycle or a quad, going hunting & archery, plus he will not turn down a game of chess or a glass of fine wine.
He has two solo parachute jumps under his belt. Loves to spend time outdoors, says there is nothing like the wonders of nature to calm and fulfil you. The more he travels, the more satisfied he is with living in Croatia, especially because of the beautiful nature, the quality of life, and - we quote – the beautiful women :)
He fell in love with aviation by watching the stunts of acrobatic pilots at the airshow called 'Susreti za Rudija' in Gornja Stubica when he was 12 years old. For him, there is no alternative to being a professional pilot, because he does not consider it to be a job, but a calling, and the views from the cockpit and from above the clouds are priceless to him.
He can't wait to fly to London. “I am really looking forward to visiting Buckingham Palace and going for a ride on the London Eye," he concludes.

Stjepan says he doesn't have a classic type of a hobby, he simply loves aviation and everything about it. In his spare time, he likes to visit small sports airfields, share his love for aviation and flying parachute jumpers.
He remembers how as a child, even before starting school, he stole a bunch of papers from his older brothers which contained instructions for making paper airplanes of various models. He also remembers his first visit to an airport and being fascinated by a scene of a MiG-21 'rumbling' down the runway.
"Inside a plane and at the airport, I really feel like at home."
Sometimes he goes hiking and cycling, and he also likes to play table tennis, darts or basketball. He's a former gamer and musician, quote – a self-proclaimed expert in cured meat products and good photography – end quote, and a lover of hanging out with friends alongside a barbecue and various cauldrons. His favorite dish is moussaka.
Airports that he looks forward visiting as a Jung Sky pilot are Le Bourget, Innsbruck and Samedan. In addition to being a pilot, by profession he’s also – an uncle :)

Our maintenance director adores aviation and when asked how and when he fell in love with it, he says that as a kid he lived near the airport and constantly watched as planes and helicopters flew by.
Spending quality time with his family is very important to him, as is the combination of living in Croatia and being a part of the aviation industry.
One other significant part of his life are sports activities - tennis, skiing, football and bicycling. He likes to ride his mountain bike as much as possible, especially downhill and through forest scenery.
He’s an enormous fan of the Croatian national football team which is why his family is already accustomed to his “disappearances” during World Cups or Euro Championships.
“We’ll see how the bosses in Jung Sky feel about this”, he stated with a smile when he joined the JS team.

Davor inherited the love for aviation from his father and that love dates back to when he was still a kid. He’s an ambitious person, loves his job and really likes taking on all sorts of challenges.
He loves to travel, although he also really enjoys being at home, doing all sorts of chores around the house. After he's done with the chores, he likes to relax with a glass of wine or whiskey and, as he considers himself to be a gourmand, a nice, tasty meal is almost always a high probability.
However, when asked about what makes him the happiest and what he enjoys the most, he answers: The time I spend with my son (9 months old).

Denis has been in love with airplanes and other flying objects since he was a kid. He started off with creating small airplane models, then finished aeronautical school after which he continued to work in aviation.
Says the act of tightening things up with a screwdriver as well as finding solutions to various issues are his favorite part of the job.
His hobbies include airplane and rocket modeling and exploring the creative power of CNC machines and 3D printers, although – he says – there isn’t much time for hobbies in his life right now because he’s decorating the house with his wife and daughter which takes away most of their free time.
He loves travelling and sightseeing and would very much like to visit Machu Picchu some day.
Loves hanging out with friends, good food, some cakes and/or cookies and he will very rarely say ‘no’ to a good, cold craft beer.

Ivan has multiple years of experience in sales and client relations, and has been in aviation since 2014.
He’s a big fan of traveling and getting to know new cultures and destinations and when asked about the most interesting experiences so far, he mentions Cuba, Seychelles, USA and Russia, which was particularly favoured by his wife Ana. Although he was sure that the experience of New York would not be surpassed by any other city, his favourite destination so far is actually Saint Petersburg.
Among domestic (Croatian) places, he loves the island of Rab, where he has been spending his summers for the last 13 years.
Once or twice a week he likes to take care of his physique by playing football, and he’s also a huge fan of rafting, especially the one on rivers Una and Tara. But at the end of the day, he prefers to spend his free time with his wife and sons Toma and Jura.
He is a passionate Eurojackpot player and says he has been playing it from the very beginning. When he gets hungry, he always prefers meat over fish, especially if it is from the grill. "In recent years, I have been enjoying eating fish a lot more than before, but it’s still not comparable to a meat dish. After all, I do come from a continental family…”, he concludes.

Dalibor, a major travel-lover, has been in tourism and sales his whole life.
In his schedule of out-of-office activities, recreational swimming is present at least 4 times a week, and at least once a week he hikes on the top of Mount Medvednica (Sljeme).
If you go around his office, there’s a good chance you will hear some jazz or blues rhythms, he loves red wines, Mediterranean cuisine and is a big fan of Game of Thrones (he was born in King’s Landing :)).
Although people don't really like to talk about their wishes that remained unfulfilled, he has no problem to single one out: airedale terrier.

There was a time back in his earlier days when he thought he was going to be a sports journalist or a lawyer. But today he’s a very experienced sales representative whose encounter with aviation, he states, “happened by accident”.
Throughout his career, he has always worked in dynamic work environments. Being part of the business aviation world is no different which is why he rightfully considers communication - written and oral, inside the office and out of it – to be his home turf.
Sports has always been a big part of his character. At different points of his life he played handball, football and basketball. He practically grew up on the playground and is a big fan of the NBA, tennis, football and some other lesser known sports. He’s still very much active, although unfortunately without the ball (running, fitness, bowling, table tennis, occasional hiking…).
He’s a very sociable guy and a real espresso-and-mineral-water junkie (“It’s my everyday ritual.”). He also loves to hang out with friends, his girlfriend and his family.
Sports, music, a good movie or a book are his indispensable anti stress therapies.
JS team member since:
July / 2023
A huge football fan who enjoys spending time watching a good match or two over the weekend, but only under two conditions: the first one is that, as he points out with a charming laugh, his fiancée has to approve him spending time watching football :) and the second one is – being a local patriot that he is – FC Dinamo Zagreb has to be playing in one of the matches.
Besides that, in his free time he loves to watch TV series, especially British crime series (a love that, in this case, is very much shared by his fiancée) and he sometimes goes hiking, although he rarely does that voluntarily.
He loves mornings and coffee, without which he cannot imagine starting a day. "I think of coffee as one of the biggest joys of my life. I love it anytime, anywhere, as long as I am in a good company.”
We were also interested about his favourite gastronomic delights, and we got a very interesting answer: army beans.

Having been part of aviation since the beginning of her professional career, she’s often kidding that she wouldn’t know how to do anything else.
Although her job is very serious, she doesn’t consider herself to be too serious :)
When she’s not planning flights, planning activities for her family is her top priority and her favorite thing to do in free time is to be outdoors or take a family trip.
JS team member since:
March / 2018
She loves traveling and getting to know new cultures. Visiting every continent at least once and going to Madagascar are at the top of her wish list.
She loves animals, especially dogs and if he could speak, her Jack Russell terrier Milo would corroborate this.
She’s always in a mood for hanging out with friends, playing board games or a game of Belot.
She loves summer and exploring the islands in Croatia. Her favorite is Vis Island although she's aware there are a lot of islands in Croatia she has yet to discover properly.
She considers herself to be a gourmet, she’s curious, direct and very organized which, in her line of business, is an extremely important quality.
JS team member since:

First and foremost, Richard Gere is not his uncle, but he wouldn’t mind it if he was.
An air traffic engineer by profession, he loves aviation and the engineering approach to resolving problems. Math, physics, logic and natural sciences are his basis, while sports activities are an extension.
A father of a 4-year-old daughter who, like her father, loves people, travelling and discovering new things.
He used to be actively involved in kayaking for about 10 years.
He loves running, swimming, playing football, going to the gym, table tennis and windsurfing during the summer. Loves cars and motorcycles and is a proud owner of an old-timer: a MZ 175 ES/2 from 1973.
When possible, he likes to enjoy a good movie or a documentary. The Devil’s Advocate (1997) is one of his favorite films.
JS team member since:
July / 2023
Passionately in love with coffee, wine, music, Italian cuisine, cooking in general, horror movies, plants, animals and crime books. And volunteering!
But let's take it one hobby at a time. She loves to drink and try different types of coffee, and will always support a visit to a nice winery.
Stating she's a music 'enthusiast' is an understatement because music really holds a special place in her life. To begin with, she has a great singing voice and likes to use and nurture that talent at church weddings. Also, she has been playing the violin since she was six years old and she plays the piano. Legend has it that, as a baby, she learned to sing and dance before she could talk and walk :)
She loves to cook, bake cakes and pies and trying out new recipes, and when in need of a break - she usually chooses a good (crime) book or stretching out in front of the TV. She is a fan of horror movies, her favorite being the-one-and-only Halloween. She's a travel-buff, plant-buff and, especially, an animal-buff. She actually wanted to become a veterinarian, but believe it or not, it turned out she's allergic to animals. All animals :(
Purple and all shades of blue are her favourite colors, she likes gardening and absolutely adores her dog Gita. At last, one of her favorite hobbies is volunteering at the Home for Abandoned Children in Vugrovec.
JS team member since:

A great admirer of nature, especially the forest areas. For relaxation, he likes to just walk around the woods with not a living (human) soul in sight.
After the outdoors, he considers being at home, enjoying a barbecue and a cold beer, to be the next best thing.
He’s a big fan of science fiction movies, although – he adds - mostly the ones that are at least somewhat realistic.
JS team member since:
October / 2019
The first PR person ever hired by Jung Sky (which makes him feel really proud) has great affection for the western movie genre, which he picked up from his father, and is a big fan of original film scores, the Arctic Monkeys, Christmas atmosphere, the New Jersey Devils and Leo Messi.
He started to organize quiz nights, but it remains to be seen whether or not this will become a true hobby.
JS team member since:
May / 2018
He has been in love with aviation since he was a kid when two friends gave him small sized assemble-it-yourself plastic aircrafts for his 10th birthday.
Plastic aircraft modeling, aero clubs, ‘spotting’ at airports and, of course, schooling eventually all played their part in his ‘conquest’ of the private pilot license. The combination of managing a reliable machine, the heights, extraordinary scenery from above and a phenomenal feeling during a flight created an unbreakable connection between him and aviation.
“I am happy to be part of this wonderful team and to be able to participate in further development of the beautiful story of Jung Sky”, he says proudly.
In his free time, he likes to hang around with friends and attend gourmet meetings, if possible with a barbecue, because - you know what they say - a well fed man is a happy man :)
JS team member since:
August / 2019
Stipe describes himself as an artist who has adapted to the demands of the digital age.
“Ever since high school, I am in love with sculpture. Computers are my second great love so 3D modeling is in a way the best compromise between the two.”
He is also engaged in beekeeping because it relaxes him, and – in the times his schedule allows it - he likes to go sailing. He is a very curious person, so it is not uncommon for him to dismantle things just to see how they work.
He used to travel a lot and he liked getting to know different parts of the world.
“Now I prefer to be at home and watch cartoons with my son or enjoy some quality time with friends, having a glass of red wine or a game of pinball and chatting about all kinds of interesting ideas.”

Although officially she joined Jung Sky in 2013, as an external associate our dear Finka has been an integral part of our team since the moment the company was founded in 2009.
Few years before her retirement, when we asked her to tell us something about her time at Jung Sky, she said she feels genuine happiness and fulfilment when thinking about her everyday work and the colleagues that surround her.
Well dear Finka, the feelings were mutual! Thank you for all your love and your warmth. We are sad that we will no longer see each other every day, but we are looking forward to each and every one of our future encounters.
We wish you lots of happy days enjoying the sun, your flowers, the nature you love so much and of course the time with your family and loved ones.
Send us a photo every once in a while, because we will always be interested to see how our ‘Finkić’ is doing :)
Enjoy your retirement and, see you around :)
„The man is an aviation encyclopedia.“ (quoting pretty much anybody from Jung Sky when asked about Zvonimir Vedriš)
Zvonko Vedriš, our long-time Postholder Continuing Airworthiness, joined Jung Sky in 2011 and on January 1, 2021 he started his well-deserved retirement days.
Out of all Jung Sky members, past and present, he has been part of the aviation industry the longest. He was among the first to join the team during Jung Sky's beginnings and his contribution to building the company's reputation and its success is immeasurable.
A person who, with his rich knowledge of the business and the aviation industry in general, but also with his warmth, honesty, gratitude and very likable sense of humor, conquers everyone around him with incredible ease.
Zvonko, we wish you a pleasant and happy retirement. Thank you for all the beautiful moments, shared knowledge and experiences. You're welcome to stop by at our HQ any time!
