✈ Tuzla Airport to start atrium construction

Given that all administrative procedures have been completed, the construction of the atrium at Tuzla International Airport has been given green light. The conceptual design of the atrium was completed much earlier, but construction was postponed many times  due to the local government delaying  the issuance of building permit.

During this month, the airport will begin construction of the atrium that will be adjoined to the terminal building. New building will have a size of 900 square meters and will house offices for rent-a-car agencies and tour operators, as well as a gift shop. Total price tag for construction of the atrium is 1,5 million Bosnian Marks or 766.000 Euros.

In the next few days, the contractor will be introduced to the plateau of the future construction site, which is in the immediate vicinity of the passenger terminal building. This space is currently used as a parking space.

Construction will further increase terminal capacity, which was reconstructed and expanded last year. Construction of the new building should last four months. According to Tuzla Airport director Esed Mujacic,  realization of several other projects will begin this year.

"We are completing another public call for a fire protection project, the implementation of which should begin soon. We also planned reconstruction of the parking lot with fully automated car parking systems. Currently we are waiting for the consent of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Ministry of Defense, given that they own the land that is planned to be used for the parking lot." Said  Mujacic.
