Belgrade Airport begins paving new runway
NEWS FLASH
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport has commenced the second phase of construction of its inserted runway with asphalting work launched late last week. The new runway is 3.500 metres in length. It will replace the existing one, which will be reconstructed. The inserted runway will remain in use as a parallel taxiway besides the existing one once the latter’s overhaul is completed. They will be linked through a new system of taxiways, including four rapid exit taxiways (RETs). The inserted runway will also be used in the future, should the main one be incapacitated to handle aircraft for whatever reason. The overhaul of the existing main runway will commence upon the completion of the inserted runway. Belgrade Airport’s existing runway was built in 1962. It was extended by an additional 400 metres to 3.400 metres in 1978. It has been determined that the runway’s weight baring capacity is no longer sufficient.
