Slovenia extends Maribor Airport concession tender
NEWS FLASH
The Slovenian government has extended a public call aimed at finding an interested concessionaire for Maribor Airport, Although the deadline was initially set for February 20, it has now been extended until March 25. The public call marks the second attempt by the Slovenian government to give Maribor Airport up for concession, with the first ending in lawsuits after the Chinese operator SHS Aviation unilaterally pulled out two years into its fifteen-year management agreement in 2019. SHS accused the government of failing to adopt a spatial plan for the area, preventing it from delivering on its ambitious infrastructure expansion plans, which were deemed unrealistic. However, the government is still yet to adopt a spatial plan. Since the Chinese operator pulled out of its concession agreement, the airport has been managed by the state-owned consulting and engineering company DRI. Maribor Airport, which has no scheduled flights, handled 291 passengers during the first two months of the year.
