NEWS FLASH

The overhaul of Osijek Airport is advancing, some three months after work began. Slated for completion in March 2026, the 14.3-million-euro project is aimed at enhancing passenger flow, comfort and security. The 2.800-square-metre facility is being expanded and reorganised to optimise how passengers move through the building. The renovation will introduce additional gates, a relocated food and beverage area and newly designed spaces for border control and security screening. The arrivals area will also be enlarged. A fifty-metre-long canopy will be added to the terminal exterior. The project also includes upgrades to the building’s aesthetics, energy efficiency and technical systems. One of the key goals of the upgrade is to streamline the check-in and security process. The number of check-in counters will double, from three to six. Six current X-ray machines for baggage screening will be replaced with a single high-capacity unit, while hand luggage screening will be enhanced with two to three new lanes, each equipped with its own scanner.
