The departures area, which is being expanded by 100 square metres, is currently 85% complete. One remaining section is still under construction and will feature glass walls and a glass roof. The new check-in counters have already been installed and are fully operational. The new baggage handling system has also been installed, with part of the system already in operation. New offices for operational staff within the security-restricted area, covering 270 square metres, are in an advanced stage of construction, with works 62% complete.

Commenting on the construction progress, the CEO of airport operator TAV Macedonia, Nejat Kurt, said, “I would like to emphasise that while construction works are ongoing, airport operations continue uninterrupted. Flights and passenger services are running smoothly despite the extensive reconstruction activities. This reconstruction project, in which TAV Macedonia is investing 2.7 million euros, will give Ohrid Airport a completely new look and significantly enhance the passenger experience by providing greater comfort, efficiency and convenience. It will also create better working conditions for our employees and institutional partners, including the Police and Customs authorities. The modernisation of Ohrid Airport will further position the Ohrid Lake region and Macedonia as one of Europe's most attractive and accessible tourist destinations”.
Planned new look
I am flying to OHD in two weeks. Looking forward to seeing this!
ReplyDeleteI bet you will like it and you will enjoy this small lovely airport🥰
DeleteNot gonna lie. Doesn't look great...
ReplyDeleteAverage Lidl looks better than this.
Deleteit is not a supermarket
DeleteNobody ask you do you like it or not as first
DeleteSecond it is about expansion the available space and to get more usable space , it is not question of luxury design ;)
Indeed and thats great. But its still very ugly.
DeleteWhat is ugly explain ? The white color with a big windows is amazingly good looking
DeleteLooks like a Lidl
Delete,@8.45 looks like you are here only for trolling
Delete@Anonymous15:18: We are all here to express our personal opinion. If somebody doesnt like it, o.k. Who are you to tell people what they should like? And yes, it is aubout weather somebody likes it or not.
DeleteI really think it’s great that investment is being made in the airport, as this has been overdue for a long time. However, when I read the figures regarding the expansion, I don’t quite understand the rationale behind this announcement. The departure hall is supposed to be enlarged by 100 m² — that’s an area of just 10 m × 10 m — and that is meant to significantly increase capacity? Anyone who has ever departed from an airport knows how cramped the situation becomes when two aircraft are being handled at the same time. These 100 m² are simply not sufficient.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, there is still only one security screening line instead of two. There is also no indication of the latest carry-on baggage scanners that would allow passengers to take liquids onto the aircraft.
+1
DeleteOk mister knowledge wait until its finished and than tell us your imagination feelings
DeleteI will do that for sure! Flights in July are booked.

DeleteHihi infrastructure patriotism. Cute
DeleteLooks like they went for the cheapest design possible.
ReplyDeleteWhat is expected is to be more space and efficient operations and more available space for passengers to feel more comfortable during their trip, the point is not about the design my friend!
DeleteDesign is very import my friend. Very import.
DeleteWhats wrong with the design ? In the end of the day it will look great as it deserve
DeleteSeriously? This is a joke! "Overhaul" and whatev nice words they use for this...
ReplyDeleteWell giwe them some money and they will build brand new terminal building as you wish
DeleteThe amount or corruption must be huge lol. Like a tin box
DeleteIt is build by TAV if they robbing themselves than thats ur dark theory
DeleteBy all means, I do not understand all this animosities against OHD. You behave like a small children. It is a small and for its size a quite nice airport. Any improvement is welcome. Cool down , live and let living..
ReplyDeleteIt is just lack of what to comment and just troll the article with non sense comments thats all ...
DeleteSo observing that its not a very nice design is nowadays trolling? Get over yourself and wake up that views vary and opinions vary are not attacks against you or the people.
Deletewow the amount of hate
