Bosnia and Herzegovina: Work on Bihać Airport project begins

Site preparation work for the construction of a new commercial airport in Bihać, in north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina, has commenced. The ambitious development of Bihać Airport is set for completion within the next three years. but the Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Fadil Novalić, has expressed his disappointment with the pace of work». He added that his government is aware there are insufficient funds for the construction of the runway and, as a result, is seeking a private investor to partake in the project. The Kuwaiti Investment Fund and Turkey’s Çelebi Aviation Holding, a ground handling services company, have both expressed interest in providing funds and managing the airport in the future.

Despite plans for the construction of the runway to begin by the end of the year, this is now unlikely to occur. The winning design for the airport’s terminal building was selected earlier this year (pictured above), with the entire project valued between twenty and 25 million euros. It includes the construction of a runway, passenger terminal and a control tower.

Bihać is located near the Croatian border and is the country’s eighth largest city.

St Thomas: USVI Plans $230 Million Airport Modernization Project (Update)

Following the news of June 20 (Virgin Islands: expansion of the Cyril E. King Airport Terminal the new data revealed by Virgin Islands Port Authority points to a cost of around $230 million.

The vision for the project includes new jet bridges, parking garages and restaurant expansions, along with a connected ferry terminal that would expedite maritime travel for travelers after exiting the terminal (something that could be a boost for both St John and St Croix and for the nearby British Virgin Islands).

Retail areas will get a major upgrade.

The designs for the ferry terminal include a pedestrian bridge that would allow arriving passengers to walk toward the nearby Lindbergh Bay Hotel and Villas over traffic to the newly-built terminal.

The wider expansion will include an upgraded airline ticketing area, concessions, restrooms, baggage screening, baggage claim and, perhaps most importantly, enclosed loading bridges.

The first phase of the expansion project will include a second level with views of the surrounding area, along with new retail and duty free offerings and a new roof.

The project began several years ago with a master plan process, according to Tom Schnetzer, head of long term projections for the Cyril King airport.

The existing terminal was built 30 years ago when airports functioned differently, Schnetzer said.

Perez & Perez is the architectural team behind the project, which has designed a number of major aviation projects, including Concourse H at Miami International Airport.
