NEWS FLASH

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport’s expansion project is continuing to advance. Following the opening of its extended C pier, the bulk of the work is now cantered around the reconfiguration of the access plateau in front of the terminal buildings and the construction of a central processor, which will enable the airport to boast 100 check-in desks, up to 1.200 square metres of additional retail space and an expanded arrivals area. This project will allow for faster access and more efficient traffic flow, as well as increased short-term parking capacity.

The first part of the new open-air car park in front of the terminal buildings has now been completed and is expected to open in the near future, easing traffic congestion in front of the construction sites.

Construction work inside the terminal buildings is also continuing, with a third floor being added above all the departure gates. Work has been completed at gates C1 and C2, with construction still taking place at gates C3 and C4. Furthermore, work has started on the expansion and overhaul of gates A7 - A10. The remaining A pier gates are now being transformed to match those from the C pier, as well as the airport’s new open floor concept. All arriving and departing passengers are now segregated and no longer mix on the first floor, with the main staircase between the departures and arrivals level, which was previously used, now closed.

Work on the 3.500-metre-long inserted runway, as well the reconstruction of part of the main parallel taxiway, are also gaining pace, while the airport’s new control tower is expected to be opened soon. A number of other projects, including a new de-icing platform, helicopter terminal and new taxiways are also advancing.
