The construction of Split Airport's new terminal has been approved, with the project receiving necessary permits. Whilst it was initially planned for work on the multi million euro facility to begin in the autumn of last year, the project has been delayed as a result of a hold-up with the state-issued permit. Construction is expected to begin in late spring. Split Airport will now begin tender procedures for the selection of contractors. The new terminal will stretch over 34.500 square metres and increase the airport’s capacity to 3.5 million passengers per year. Furthermore, the car park and bus area will be expanded by 35.500 square metres. The project is valued at 59.3 million euros and is estimated to take just over two years to complete. The state will exempt Split Airport from paying tax on profit, which will fund part of the investment (17.1 million euros) through its accumulated profits. The rest will be paid through a loan from the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which will not require state guarantees. Split Airport is the former Yugoslavia’s third busiest airport and the second busiest in Croatia after Zagreb. It handled a record 1.95 million passengers in 2015.
Nice one for Split

ReplyDeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteAre this jetbridges?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like it.... maybe they could or will be added later like at Dubrovnik?
DeleteYes airbridgegs will be added, 4 of them are planned, when that is a good question. Longer term plan is to move across the road and have more space there for expansion, also adding of taxiway is another priority.
