Belgrade Airport’s new runway opening nears
NEWS FLASH
The construction of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport’s new inserted runway is nearing completion. A Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) - an aviation document informing all carriers of important and urgent messages - has been issued indicating the introduction of the new runway 12R/30L, new taxiway D1-D7 and taxiway Y from February 23. From that same date, radio navigation and landing aids will be introduced for the new runway as well as changes to navigation procedures at the airport. The new runway is 3.500 metres in length and will replace the existing one, which will be overhauled in the coming period. Once its reconstruction is completed, the inserted runway will become a parallel taxiway besides the original runway. The two 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 this year. Belgrade Airport’s existing runway was built in 1962 and was extended by an additional 400 metres to 3.400 metres in 1978. It has been determined that its weight bearing capacity is no longer sufficient.
