In addition to the expansion and reconstruction of existing
facilities, Tuzla International Airport is implementing another important
project. The airport is building a customs terminal for the storage of aviation
fuel JET A1. The project cost is around one million Bosnian marks (€500.000)
Last year Tuzla International Airport was granted a license
for supply of fuel and airline aircraft fuel JET A1. In order to accommodate increase in number of aircraft movements, and most important, be able to accommodate Wizz air’s expansion at
the airport, and increased fuel consumption, airport needs to have a fuel storage
with proper customs terminal to carry out fuel sales.
After obtaining all necessary permits for building the fuel
storage, the work has started last month. The plan for construction completion
is expected in early March of next year. New fuel terminal will open just in
time for Wizz air’s stationing of its second Airbus A320 at the airport and starting many new flights from the airport.
"The investment is estimated at around one million
Bosnian marks. We are going to finance this project from its own resources, mainly
from the income airport has made from Wizz Air flights. From 27th of
March we will be able to supply the airlines and aircraft with the fuel from our
warehouse. For our airport it is very important because we wont have to pay VAT
in advance, " explains director of Tuzla Airport Mr. Karasalihović.
The construction of this fuel terminal will fulfill all environmental
standards of the law of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For increased protection, all fuel
tanks will be placed on rubber surfaces. Control of the fuel quality will be
carried out in a newly built laboratory at Tuzla International Airport.
