✈Sarajevo Airport terminal building expansion!

Sarajevo International Airport, New terminal building render

The expansion of the terminal building represents a priority for the airport, since current building has reached its capacity. The expansion of the terminal building should provide approximately 9,000 square meters of additional space on four floors. Estimated value of the investment is 38 million KM or 20 million Euros. Business development of the main project of reconstruction and expansion of the terminal building is assigned to well-known Sarajevo company "Arch Group" and famous Sarajevo architect Sead Golos. The architect Sead Golos has designed several modern buildings in Sarajevo: Sarajevo City Center, BBI Center, Bosmal, Hotel Europe….

Expansion of Sarajevo Airport terminal is an extremely complex and challenging project, especially considering that the works on the expansion of the terminal must not affect the regular performance of the airport activities.

Besides the expansion of the terminal building, reconstruction of the runway is also a project that will be carried out this year. Extension of the platform for aircraft parking, will provide three additional parking spaces for narrow-body aircraft (Airbus 320 or Boeing 737) or two spaces for wide-body aircraft (Airbus 330 or Boeing 767). Construction of an exclusive VIP lounge is planned, in order to satisfy needs of the business and first class travelers.
