NEWS FLASH

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport’s biggest expansion project in history is progressing with key facilities expected to open next month. The airport is undertaking Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) exercises to support the successful opening of the first phase of the expanded C concourse building, as well as centralised security. Centralised security is expected to be operational from mid-April and has involved the procurement of new security and screening technology. Simultaneously, in order to allow the terminal to be expanded, the full reconfiguration of the access plateau is taking place. This project will allow faster access and more efficient traffic flow, as well as increased short-term parking capacity. Construction of the airport’s third floor - a wide corridor being built on top of the existing terminal buildings in order to segregate arriving and departing passengers - is advancing. The floor is currently completed above gates A1 - A4, C1 - C2, while gates C3 and C4 have now been closed in order for work to take place. Work on the 3.500-metre-long inserted runway, new de-icing platform, control tower, helicopter terminal, new taxiways are also ongoing.
