Zagreb Airport terminal construction intensifies

Zagreb Airport’s new terminal taking shape

The construction of Zagreb Airport’s new passenger terminal has intensified with work currently taking place both landside and airside. Viadukt, the Croatian contractor in charge of carrying out the majority of the building work, says the project is on schedule and that all deadlines have been met. The construction of a wastewater and storm drainage system is currently underway, as well as the retention basin, which manages stormwater runoff to prevent flooding. In addition, separators and pump stations are also being built. During night time, work is being carried out near the runway to further regulate drainage flow. Furthermore, the construction of taxiways and aprons is in progress.


In front of the future terminal, the construction of an overpass, which will connect to the already completed roundabout and access roads leading to it, is taking place. Simultaneously, the surfacing of the future car park, which will be located in front of the terminal building, is in progress. The Croatian Ministry for Sea, Transport and Infrastructure estimates that by the end of the year the construction of the terminal’s steel structure and roof will be completed, while work on both landside and airside drainage and road network will continue. Zagreb Airport is expected to purchase all necessary equipment and begin with the facility’s testing phase towards the end of 2015. The terminal's opening is scheduled to take place in 2017.


Zagreb Airport’s new terminal will have the capacity to handle 5.5 million passengers per year, compared to the current 2.2 million, once the first phase of the project is completed. The airport will later be expanded in subsequent phases to reach an annual capacity of eight million passengers, though no firm timeframe has been set for future development. The project involves a total investment of 331 million euros, 243 million of which will be spent on the construction of the new terminal and 88 million for the maintenance of airport infrastructure over the entire period of the thirty-year concession, awarded to the French-led Zagreb Airport International Company (ZAIC).

    Great work. My only objection is that they should not have cut down on the terminal size (jet bridges) and car park could have been underground. The rest looks great. Love the roof.

      I agree on terminal p[proportions, should have been kept as originally intended,which were 155x175m, instead of current 140x130m, and gone full profile with fingers. Problem with the underground garage is underground waters. Whole area around there is a basically a large wetlands and in rainy season entire area is flooded, at least this was the case in 1800s and early to mid 1900s,

      At most they could have gone is 8m underground which they did, enough for a large automatic luggage sorting facility, facility will be able to handle 20 million pieces of luggage per year and should need arise it can be expanded a fair bit.

      It'll be only such facility in entire region, even much larger airports don't have it yet, so it is great that Zagreb has it.

      Also terminal will eventually be enlarged as passanger numbers grow, there are plans to expand it by 30m on each side and extend fingers to 720m, or adding additional 200m on each side.

      Once fully upgraded Terminal will be able to handle around 12 million pax per year, 15 million max. These numbers are likely around 2050.

    Is their some underground water issue at ZAG? Seems like they are doing a whole lot of work on drainage.

      I think it has something to do with the underground facilities which needs to slowly be drained and 'trickled' into the storm water system.

      Very common with new buildings everywhere now to prevent the storm water system being overwhelmed.

      at 6% Beograd won't even reach 5mil passengers in 2015. This is slower than expected. Delayed approval for America flights postponed planned local expansion and growth is slowing.

      First off anon 4:36 that is good growth and I call 5-7% natural growth. At the same time it was expected to be around double that (10-14%) by many member on here as well as many members on aerodorm beograd skyscrapercity page. The funny thing about the last thing I mentioned is that 20 members predicted growth of 10-20%, and maybe like 3-4 people said 0-10%.

      Mislim da posle tolikog rasta poslednjih godina i istorijskog broja prošle godine je potpuno nerealno očekivati dvocifren broj rasta u ovoj godin i. Uz to treba uzeti u obzir da ASL dolazi u realne okvire i ne može da ima rast od 68% kao prošle godine.

      Sve je relativno. Aerodrom Nis ce sa samo par letova imati veci rast od aerodroma Beograd.

      Malo je kad se uporedi sa originalnim planovima. Dva aviona su bila očekivana krajem godine ili početkom ove, tek je jedan ATR stigao sredinom ove godine. Papiri za let preko bare su trebali da budu gotovi prošle godine, a letovi da krenu sredinom ove godine. Po tim očekivanjima aerodrom je mogao da ima između 10 i 20% rasta ove godine, ali nije do aerodroma, nije ni do Er Srbije.

      BEG lacks some facilities, such as rail connection to the city center, parking structure adjacent to the terminal and separation of inbound and outbound pax that has been extensively disussed. Intl arrivals are a mess, and a hotel would be nice.

      But is this enough to warrant a construction of a brand new terminal? Is JU going to drive growth so high that it will be necessary in 2-3 years? I would still say no.

      ZAG, SKP, PRN, DBV - especially ZAG - have beautiful new terminals, but prior to that, they had completely inadequate buidlings and services. They didn't have a choice but to build a brand new terminal.

Aerodrome treba da vode profesionalci, operater treba da nadje svoj interes a drzava Srbija svoj - za to treba vizija a ponasjvise DOBAR UGOVOR. Da li smo u stanju jedanput da napravimo dobar ugovor za nasu drzavu? Ja se nadam ali kao i obicino izgleda da se puno prica i spinuje i reklamira unapred ali malo sta se radi po pitanju pretvaranje LYBE u pravi regionalni HUB.

      rekonstruisan T2,...novi gejtovi... - sve građevinske radove na rekonstrukciji T2 uradio je prethodni menadžment, novi nije ništa rekonstruisao!

      novi aviomostovi - aerodrom ima 16 mostova već decenijama. Stakleni umesto starih, ali isti broj kao kad je bilo samo 2 miliona putnika.

      Ulazk u top 100 evropskih aerodroma - to je isključivo zasluga Er Srbije a ne aerodroma pošto aerodrom od prošlog leta nije NIŠTA uradio od građevinskih proširenja! Sramota!
