The construction of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport’s new control tower is to be completed on schedule in September 2021, while it will be put into operation in February 2022, once all of the latest equipment fitted inside the facility is tested. The five-month period will also allow for training and familiarisation programs to enable the safe transition from the existing facilities to the new control tower operation. “This is the biggest and most important project in the modernisation of Serbia’s air traffic control. We are building a 75-metre tall control tower with a 100 square metre control tower cab featuring the most advanced software and technology. Construction began in February this year and the tower will be put into use in February 2022, exactly sixty years since the opening of the existing air traffic control tower at Belgrade Airport”, the head of the Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services Agency, Predrag Jovanović, said. The new tower will also feature a two-level flight control centre at its base. The facility will stretch over an area of 7.500 square metres.
