Work on the new passenger terminal at Split Airport is finally about to start, reports ExYuAviation on August 4, 2016.
Split Airport is experiencing its busiest traffic ever, with more than 90 destinations now connecting to the Dalmatian capital in the tourist season.
Plans to expand the airport to cope with this increased demand have been in the world for some time, and it seems that finally work will begin this autumn, much to the relief of the increasing number of tourists entering Croatia through this popular route. According to ExYuAviation:
“Following three years of constant delays, the construction of Split Airport’s much needed new passenger terminal will begin this autumn. It comes after the airport completed tendering procedures to select the company which will be responsible for building the facility. Initially, the tender was to take place in the first half of 2014. Over the past month, both the Austrian construction company Strabag and a Slovenian consortium lodged complaints against Split Airport for the way in which the tender was conducted. However, the Croatian State Commission for the Supervision of Public Procurement Procedures has dismissed both cases. On the other hand, the state has issued construction permits. Split Airport has been struggling with capacity issues during the peak summer months when the bulk of its passengers pass through its doors.”
