Belgrade Airport expansion

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, Terminal 2

The management of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport and the Government of Serbia plan to invest 118 million Euros into Serbia’s largest airport. The investment would go into the expansion of the terminal building, a second runway and an office block for the airport’s management. The expansion of Terminal 2 would allow the airport to handle over five million passengers per year. The multi million Euro project will be carried out within the next ten years.

Belgrade has two terminals which have the capacity to handle five million passengers per year. Terminal two was completely refurbished between 2004 and 2006. The airport is the largest out of all in the former Yugoslavia. Passenger results in July 2010 have broken previous records. According to a 1990 master plan, Belgrade Airport was intended, by January 2010, to have a third terminal, second runway, office block, hotel complex and a rail connection to the city centre.

Belgrade is not the only capital city airport which will see expansion and refurbishment in the near future. Zagreb, Sarajevo and Ljubljana all intend to expand while Skopje is already seeing construction work. Podgorica is the only EX-YU capital city airport which currently has no plans to expand although Montenegro’s largest airport was completely refurbished several years ago.
