NEWS FLASH
Zagreb Airport has set up complimentary water dispensers at two locations inside its terminal building to enable passengers to fill their empty reusable water bottles. They can be found in the departures area, past the security checkpoints on the third level, as well as in the arrivals area prior to passport control on level one. According to European Union regulations, water bottles do not have to be empty when boarding an aircraft but must be empty if over 100 millilitres during security screening. Apart from providing benefits for passengers, the water re-fill stations aim to promote the use of reusable water bottles and reduce the consumption of single-use plastic bottles.

ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeletesomething that was already normal in the U.S. back in the mid 90s. This is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI think ZAG is the first airport in ex-Yu with these refill stations.
DeleteNice move, yes it's nothing new in the world but nevertheless its a nice touch.
DeleteAbu Dhabi doesn't have a single one working.
DeleteNor does Cancun.
DeleteAbu Dhabi has at least one working (I was there 1 month ago). https://www.wateratairports.com/topic/abu-dhabi-international-airport-auh/
DeleteStrange. At BNX there is a water dispenser long time
DeleteIsn't every toilet already a refill station?
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, people like to spit on the water taps, especially in toilers
DeleteAlways using bathrooms for filling up my bottle but in a lot of public spaces the design is so bad that you can't fit your bottle under the tap. So installed fountains are definitely preferred
DeleteYes, those taps are great example of anti-human design.
DeleteAll airports needs to have this
ReplyDeleteI wish more airports in our region would do that too!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Belgrade airport look at this! Please do the same.
ReplyDeleteI was in Beirut Airport once (2014). I used their fountain water and had issues for next few days...after that experience, when traveling outside US, I buy bottled water.
ReplyDeleteJust because you got upset tummy in Beirut doesn't mean that water isn't absolutely fine in the majority of Europe.
DeleteFountains should be required at every airport, just as toilets are.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat. It's a basic human right.
DeleteIf this is a picture of it, looks like a sink. I would be afraid to use it, since someone could wash their hands and face. Couldn’t they have picked another design?
