NEWS FLASH
The Chinese-led consortium comprised of Hainan Air Travel Service, HNA Airport Group and China National Aero-Technology International Engineering Corporation have failed to make a binding bid for the 25-year concession of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. The Cyprus-based Severika Limited joined the consortium just last week. However, local media report that only four binding bids have been made for the airport, which includes a consortium comprised of Incheon International Airport Corporation, Turkey's Ic Ictas Altypi and Russia's VTB Capital, a consortium comprised of Zurich Airport, Meridiam and Eiffage, a consortium made up of India's GMR Infrastructure and Greece's GEK Terma and a stand-alone bid by Vinci. The deadline or the submission of binding bids passed last Friday and the Public Body has begun evaluating the offers. A preliminary decision is expected on December 25.
Where are the conspiracy theorists to tell us that the tender is being fixed for the Chinese?
ReplyDeleteThey will say Hainan will suspend flights.
Delete+1
DeleteRemember first it was that the Arabs were getting the airport along with cheap agricultural land :)
DeleteFirst they missed payments on their fleet, than route consolidation in many markets, now this. Seems that all is not well at HNA.
DeleteOh my god, what a shock! I think that it all comes down between Koreans or Vinci
ReplyDeleteThe Russians or the Turks will take it. All others are out of the equation.
DeleteRussians will do nothing to improve the airport and Turks will do some small cosmetic changes, perhaps add that new extension planned earlier.
We add all extensions being planned or already implemented, *(49000sqm when all work done )allow airport traffic of around 11-13 million pax. Figure airport won't reach for another 20 years at present rate of growth.
In all honesty I don't see why airport needs to go under concession ??? Other then to make Vucic & Co rich men before they're thrown out of the office.
If airport is making all the profits, they say they do, invest in to infrastructure and expansion, no need for silly concession.
You realize that "Russian and Turks" are part of the Incheon consortium. Turks are only there for the infrastructure project (Incheon has applied to all tenders together with them), while Russians are there for the financing part - to give Incheon the necessary loans. So your theory is completely wrong because neither the Turks nor the Russians would be involved in running the airport.
Deleteyeah, Russians will give money, Turks will build and Koreans will run
DeleteYes they will. You only have to do a short search to see what each of these companies does.
DeleteI hope the Koreans will get it.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? What happened? How come they withdraw?
ReplyDeletePrepare for new conspiracy in 3,2,1.
Deleteconspiracy is nothing else but unknowing...
DeleteHere we go:
DeleteAccording to this source, VINCI will win because MMF likes them, however, Vinci doesn't meet core requirements: their own company ADP has 8% stake in ZAG.
Also, source says, when it comes to Indians, they did concessions with Fraport in India, so it looks like Fraport "na mala vrata".

(I know that source is funny, but we were talking about conspiracies, right?)
ma preinvestirali su se. imali su neki nalet akvizicija od 50bln USD pokupovali razne firme po svetu i nekretnine po njujorku i floridi.
Deleteonda nisu imali para da plate lizing aviona i sada moraju da rade konsolidaciju, a pretpostavljam da će i neke glave da lete.
Vucic mentioned Vinci yesterday, in Paris.
ReplyDeleteOf course he mentioned it he was talking to Macron. He didn't declare them the winner.
Deletehahaha Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt was reported ages ago that during the first round the Chinese had the lowest financial offer.
ReplyDeleteI am shook! Also, is it safe to say the deadline was extended because of the Chinese and even after several extensions they failed to submit an official offer. If that is the case, then good that the Chinese will not be getting it.
ReplyDeleteremember all the "chinese will get it" comments and articles?
ReplyDeleteand more importantly "they will also take JU"
DeleteI don't remember any article that the Chinese will get it. At least not here.
DeleteThere was no article but many people believed that the Chinese would get the deal.
DeleteWhere have you been?
he said comments not article.... shame on all of those who thought they were smart or funny to say that Chinese will take it..
DeleteYeah, really shameful thing to do. To speculate that the Chinese would get it considering all their investment in Serbia over the last year.
DeleteIn the end we were wrong, nothing else. No shame in that.
Well, how about this... they withdrew and the concession fails. Then there is no more concession and shady deals out of the public eyes can be made with the chinese.
ReplyDeleteWell how about this: Zurich gets the concession. One year later UAE buys Zurich Airport as secretly agreed with Vucic, and now UAE has two airports in Europe ZRH, BEG and Air Serbia. Revenge to LH.
Deletei am missing james bond role in that scenario
DeleteThere are enough conspiracy theories and plot twists on this page to fill the next Bond movie. Just add Kim Jong-un as a stealth bidder in his goal to make what looks like a new BEG terminal on the outside but is really a missile silo on the inside. 007 fights him to save the free world. Appropriate movie title: From Belgrade With Love.
Deletehahaha, good one
DeleteMaybe the politicians included in the deal like Mali, were asking for too much under the table? Look at the ones that are left candidates from shady countries like Russia, India, Cyprus, Greece..
ReplyDeleteYes Switzerland, France, South Korea all very shady. Idiot.
DeleteMy name is Mali, Sinisa Mali. Love these conspiracy theories, people read Kurir too much these days.
Deletehavent you read Kurir the past few days, they are best buddies again, i guess they've come to a mutually agreed price.
DeleteThey will probably fall out of love soon as soon as SNS stops funding them.
Deletethat won't happen before the elections in belgrade.
DeleteKurir should not be read by anyone at any time.
DeleteUnder any circumstances.
Delete@ Anonymous 1:39 PM, wait till the end and see who is going to get the concession, i truly hope its a candidate from one of the countries that you listed. idiot.
ReplyDeleteThere is no bid from Cyprus and the "shady" countries you are talking about - Turkey and Russia are bidding with the Koreans. I assume you also think that shady people are running Zagreb, Skopje and Pristina since it's all Turks. So yeah, you are an idiot.
DeleteKinezi nemaju para jer su potpisali koncesiju sa Mariborskim aerodromom, gde će platiti 600 mil evra za koncesiju od 15 godina.
ReplyDeletegood one.
DeleteSo IMO 2nd best is now out, hopefully Koreans get it, everything else would be disappointment.
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteTake it easy people, the good thing is that there was a HUGE interest from so many companies. I personally would've preferred Fraport as they have improved a lot. LJU will soon benefit from them. Also compare eastern Bulgaria's airports then and now. Greek ones to follow. I think Vinci are good too, take a look at KUT airport in Georgia..
ReplyDeleteRussians will be good, but probably too Mafioso.
Go Korea!
ReplyDeleteWould be nice if the Koreans get it but too many idiots from Serbia have a prejudice towards Korean investment because of Yura
ReplyDeleteAnd what kind of prejudice do you have?
DeleteHave you ever been in Korea?
Have you been seen their way of working with foreigners?
I know they don't tolerate slacking, which can only be good for the company.
DeleteEverything else could, should and hopefully will be by the law in Serbia.
