PHOTOS: Belgrade Airport construction update
NEWS FLASH
Construction work at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is continuing to advance. Despite initial announcements by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which has provided a loan to VINCI for the airport’s overhaul, that the new processor building would open in March, this is yet to materialise. However, the airport has simulated check-in procedures and handling of five flights at the new building, as well as an emergency situation. Arriving passengers, who are already using the building to exit the airport, no longer have to use detours to reach the temporary pick-up zone, with travellers now able to use new outdoor elevators, stairs and pathways instead. The area which will connect the first floor of the new central processor and the Terminal 2 building is also visible. The new facility features check-in, passport and security, with the existing passport control now being dismantled.

Inside Terminal 2, work has been completed on the overhaul of the C5 and C6 gates which have been closed for almost a year. Furthermore, the A4 gate has now been overhauled and reopened, with work still ongoing at gates A5 to A10. The new floor that is being constructed above these gates has now reached up to gate A9.
Work on the airport’s access roads is ongoing and expected to be completed this summer. Belgrade Airport’s General Manager, Francois Berisot, said, “Construction work at Belgrade Airport began in January 2020 and is on schedule. Work is currently taking place at several locations. Soon we will put into operation the new inserted runway and begin the overhaul of the current runway for the first time in sixty years. The completion of all of the airport's most crucial projects is scheduled by the end end of the year”. Testing of the inserted runway’s Aeronautical Ground Lighting has been taking place in recent days.
