Chinese to exit Maribor Airport on July 15
NEWS FLASH
The Chinese operator of Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport, SHS Aviation, will end its concession on July 15. It comes after SHS announced in January it was cutting short its fifteen-year agreement to manage and devlop the airport. Despite not delivering on most of what it promised, including transforming Maribor Airport into a hub for Chinese tourists, the operator expressed its unhappiness with delays by the central government in adopting a zoning plan, which would allow it to begin its massive 660 million euro airport redevelopment project. SHS Aviation purchased the "Aerodrom Maribor" operator for seven million euros and was also obliged to pay an additional 100.000 euro concession fee each month, a condition it struggled to meet on a number of occasions. The Slovenian Ministry for Infrastructure said it was seeking a way for the airport to continue operating past July. "With regard to the continued operation of the airport after the expiration of the concession, discussions and coordination are in progress to find the most appropriate solution", the Ministry said in a statement.
