PHOTOS: Belgrade Airport expansion gains pace

NEWS FLASH

The expansion of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is continuing to progress on schedule. Since the previous construction update last month, work on the exterior of its expanded C concourse is advancing, while construction of the airport’s new control tower is also progressing. Work on the structures that will link jet bridges with the second and the new third floor of the terminal building at the A concourse departure gates is also on schedule, while a temporary upgrade of the airport’s facilities inside the existing terminal building have been completed. The apron E development, located across from the cargo terminal, is nearing completion. This extension allows for the upgrade and optimisation of aircraft handling capacities at remote stands, the handling of three aircraft with a wingspan of up to 36 metres, an internal road, as well as ground handling equipment areas. The apron will have its own lighting system and retention for drainage.

Emmanuel Menanteau, operator VINCI’s Area Director for Northern and Eastern Europe and South-East Asia, has said all construction work should be completed by 2023. Commenting last week following talks with Serbia's Minister for Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications, Mr Mennteau said, “There are a lot of tourists visiting Serbia but also growing business travel. I believe Serbia is the tourist destination of the future which we want to help develop and expand its market through the introduction of new routes”.
