The facilities occupy a total gross building area of 3,413.43 m2, while the weather station area, roads, platforms and parking spaces (open spaces) occupy a gross building area of 8,000 m2.
The technical documentation of the Design for Building Permit (reviewed and verified by the Technical Review) was uploaded to the Central Evidence of Unified Procedures on 10 October 2022. Energoprojekt Industrija a.d. goes on to prepare the Design for Execution.
In addition, in order to enable proper functioning and undisturbed access to the facilities at the expanded airport complex, in 2021, Energoprojekt Industrija a.d. signed another contract upon a Public Procurement, which is being implemented.

Furthermore, the auxiliary traffic network facilities at the site include several parking spaces with tollbooths, a transformer substation, changing rooms and toilets, etc.
The works on the renovation and construction of the internal transport infrastructure shall be executed in five phases.
