| Belgrade and Skopje airports recognised at World Airport Awards |
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport and Skopje Alexander the Great Airport have once again been named among the top ten best airports in Eastern Europe at the 2016 Skytrax World Airport Awards held in Cologne last week. Belgrade Airport was placed fifth among Eastern Europe’s best airports, retaining its position from last year, while Skopje managed ninth position, featuring on the list for only the second time. The category was won by Budapest. No other airport from the former Yugoslavia managed to enter the top ten of any category. Furthermore, no airport in the region was among the top 100 best airports in the world, with Singapore’s Changi Airport taking the title for a fourth year in a row. The 2016 World Airport Awards were based on 13.25 million customer nominations across 106 nationalities of air travellers, and included 550 airports worldwide.

The World Airport Awards are considered the most prestigious accolades for the airport industry voted by customers in the largest annual global airport customer satisfaction survey. It operated from June 2015 to February 2016. It is the second time in the award’s seventeen-year history that two airports from the former Yugoslavia have entered the top ten of any category, which include the world’s best airport, most improved airport, airport with the best staff, best security and best transit airport, to name a few. According to Skytrax, the survey and awards process is independent and guaranteed free of any airport influence or interference in final results. It evaluates customer satisfaction across 39 key performance indicators for airport service and product - from check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security and immigration, through to departure at the gate.

Over the past three years, Belgrade Airport has invested significantly in improving its facilities, with the addition of three new gates, the expansion of its departure lounges, replacement of old air bridges, the overhaul of its business class lounge, opening of new retail space and the installation of a visual docking guidance system for aircraft. On the other hand, since opening its new terminal in September 2011, Skopje Airport has been no stranger to awards. Since 2013 it has been named the best airport in Europe handling under two million passengers according to Airports Council International (ACI). With six air bridges and a capacity to handle four million passengers per year, some 110 million euros were invested into the terminal building. The World Airline Awards, also organised by Skytrax, where Adria Airways and Croatia Airlines have often featured among the ten best carriers in Eastern Europe, takes place in July.

Strange votings. I m wondering how thiw vote come together. In my eyes MUC is not better than ZRH but probably many Germans among the voters who vote MUC. Very strange top 10 Eastern European airports no PRG and WAW. In my eyes the leading two airports in that part of Europe. Lately I saw a survey which placed DME as one of the best airports in Europe. Here not even Top 10 in Eastern Europe
Been on most of the mentioned and definitely glad to see that Charles de gaul is not on the list. The most boring airport in the world.

Vezni deo - rekonstrukcija u toku.
Bhs - prolongirano zbog kompleksnosti izrade konkursne
Dai pad - otvorena dokumentacija za izvodjenje radova ali je u toku proces za zastitu prava ponudjaca
C7-C10 - odustalo se jer air serbia hoce t2 pa se preslo na a6-a10
B prosirenje nikad nije ni ookrenuto - pokrenuto je prosirenje a platforme i to je u toku
A6-A10 postojale su varijante i odabrana je jedna kojom je prosiren hodnik a i time povecana komercijalna zona
T1 rekonstrukcija ide kada se zavrsi vezni deo i postavi novi bhs
(APRILILILI) Korean Air dolazi u Zagreb sa Airbusom A380 na charter liniji

Kad sam rekao proširenje B platforme mislio sam na zapad od postojeće B platforme, onaj prostor preko puta karga ako Muzej može da prebaci sav krš kod sebe.
Ovo da Air Serbia hoće T2 se pričalo i ranije. A kad bude njihovo onda je na njima da finansiraju proširenja, što će da košta više nego sve do sada.
