General aviation is one part of civil air traffic. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel safety has become more important. One of the services in that part of the business that aircraft owners are looking for is a hangar for accommodating smaller aircraft. International Zagreb Airport Jsc. does not own such a hangar and does not provide this service. Due to the consequences caused by the financial crisis and a significantly lower inflow of financial resources, the project of building a hangar for general aviation is currently not feasible. From the mentioned problem and the impossibility of realizing this type of service, there is a need to investigate the possibility of a different type of project financing. The subject of this research is the possibility of financing the construction of a hangar for general aviation with European Union funds in the period 2021 - 2027. In this paper, the possibility of financing the project from European Union funds, the structure, and policies of the Union, which European funds exist and which areas they cover, the importance of the Cohesion Fund, the topics it covers, and which projects can be financed from it are investigated. The paper explains the concept of general aviation, why it is important, what is its perspective and why it is important to have a hangar for accommodating general aviation aircraft at the airport. The aim of this work is to find the sources from which the general aviation hangar construction project can be financed with European Union funds, and to conclude with a review of similar projects financed from European funds. It was concluded that the optimal variant of this case is a public-private partnership, and for the same a calculation of the investment return, that is, the profitability of the investment in the infrastructure project, was made. The calculation showed that the investment pays off in the long term for both sides of the public-private partnership.
