NEWS FLASH
Work on various projects at the Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport site continue to advance.
The first new conveyer belts in the baggage claim area, which is being redesigned, have been installed with all baggage carousels to be replaced, and additional ones added.

A number of other projects at the airport complex are progressing, including the expansion of the check-in area, which will complement the 28 check-in desks installed this year in the new central processor building. Overall, the airport will boast some ninety check-in desks.
Any word on when coffee shops will open downstairs?
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never !
ReplyDeleteDa se ubrzaju i radove završe do početka letnje sezone. Haos od prošlog leta ne smeju više da dopuste.
ReplyDeleteTako je.
DeleteХаос је био док су се радили приступни путеви. Много је био већи проблем недостатак радне снаге, морамо видети шта ће бити са тиме на крају када дође лето. Видим да сви живи траже раднике (аеродром, Скајпартнер као и Мензис).
DeleteLooking good! Gonna use it next year to go SVO
DeleteMe too, love Russia 😊
Delete@Nemjee prema onome sto smo culi pre nekoliko dana , svi koji su pre nekoliko godina prebaceni iz ASGS u VINCI ce biti nanovo prebaceni u Menzies ... Videcemo sta ce biti na kraju....
DeleteWe need more restaurants, Starbucks, McDonalds, Skroz dobra pekara...
ReplyDeleteI agree especially as Air Serbia want to attract more transfer passengers. It's a shame that Walter are opening by the airport and not inside departures or places like that. Need restaurants and like a bar, Dogma or Brewdocker would be good showcasing local beers with sports screens etc.. There is definitely room I believe.
DeleteWhat is the deal with Walter... It's been sitting dormant for months now.. No workers to be seen there for a while now.
Delete^ It turned out that they do not have all the necessary permits to build there. So the inspection responsible closed their construction site and ordered them to remove everything built. We will see what happens.
DeleteI knew there was something weird... Too bad, I would something to open up there, it's a great location and it would do well.
DeleteWalter has the worst and overpriced ćevapi anyway. Also, they're great if you like hair as garnish.
DeleteDon’t know where that is coming from, but they are more than decent. Not the best (that would be Savčić), but pretty good.
DeleteIf not clear yet: No one outside of SNS web can open the restaurant/bar in/around airport
DeleteIf it was really about that then someone else (one of their party friends) would have opened something else by now.
DeleteIt's a privately run building. I do agree for the rest of the country but inside of the airport VINCI has the last word who can come in.
DeleteWalter wouldn't be a bad choice because it's Serbian-Balkan food. It's a name easy for a lot of foreigners to remember.
I would personally prefer Totally Good Bakery to be there for the locals.
After a long time, it’s back!
ReplyDeleteWho, what?
DeleteThe new area in baggage clasim looks nice and modern in the pics.
ReplyDeleteThe old/new runway is progressing really quickly. Looks like they may have it dons by summer 2024.
ReplyDeleteThey were supposed to do a complete renovation of the runway foundation so this can't be done very quickly. Maybe they changed the strategy and are just layering the old runway with new asphalt?
DeleteNo. They did the complete renovation of the driveway foundation. They started work 6 months ago
DeleteWhy on gate A1 they haven’t made a angle gate instead adding a new building ?
ReplyDeleteWhat's located under the cover on last photo?
ReplyDeleteIt's not a cover, it's a patio. Probably for cafe that will be inside.
DeleteLooks like a dancefloor
DeleteIt's a cover, you could see on older photos of construction.
DeleteWhat are they doing on the taxiway at A4 gate?
ReplyDeleteeGates can’t come soon enough, literally
ReplyDeleteThey really need shops/cafes fast. Empty space, temp-old duty free feel now. I know its still work in progress, but it takes them a long time. Shops will 'open' the airport which already suffers from a bit of claustrophobic/maze feel to it. Don't' get me wrong, this is huge improvement vs. old, but I thing with modern shops/cafes/restaurants it will get 'full circle' complete look to it.
ReplyDeleteAny updates from the government on when these e-gates shall be put to good use?
ReplyDeleteE gates are
Deleteonly for SRB citizens or...?
Some 90 check in desks but in reality about less than half will be working as they don't have enough people. Standard scheme LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny
DeleteAt this pace the renovation will last another 3 years until its completely finished. If even... will not comment the design and quality of the new spaces.
ReplyDeleteYou just did though.
DeleteAny news on the Air Serbia business check-in lobby area in the new building?
ReplyDeleteJU already has dedicated business class check in and it's all the way on the left side.
DeleteDidn't ask about that but this:
Deletehttps://www.exyuaviation.com/2022/07/air-serbia-plans-separate-airport-zone.html
Air Serbia plans to have a dedicated zone for business class passengers at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport once the latter’s ongoing expansion is completed. The carrier’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “In the expanded terminal, we plan to have a dedicated separate zone for passengers flying business class, which will be more alike a hotel lobby than a standard airport terminal”

Air Serbia also plans to elevate its ground experience with the opening of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport new central processor building, especially for business class passengers. “Part of the VIP carpark will be dedicated to Air Serbia, from where there will be a bridge to the new facility, offering seamless movement of passengers. At the end of the bridge, there will be a dedicated and branded Air Serbia entrance and after entering the building, straight ahead you will be welcomed by dedicated separate business class desks. By separate, I mean there will be a glass-wood partition going up to the ceiling or a little bit below which will have a glass door, and inside there will be refreshments, as well as four to six check-in counters, hotel lobby-style. It may come a bit after the new facility opens as it will need a lot of fine-tuning, however this development is not fully on us. It requires synergies and coordination with the airport operator, additional discussions are ongoing and we strongly hope that we will be able to achieve this together before the summer season”, Mr Marek said. He added, “The majority of the check-in desks in the new building will be dedicated to Air Serbia. We are also, in cooperation with the airport operator, developing a new service desk with an open-space U-shape style design with eight agent seats as an additional touchpoint for our customers”.
How about cleaning and fixing existing toilet facilities?
ReplyDeleteMission imposible for this management obviously.
DeleteThey are cleaner than before. They smell bad because of the sewage system.
DeleteThey are just awful.
DeleteThey are not cleaner. The level of people they employ probably has never lived better toilets at their homes, let alone public spaces. When management is weak the output is of similar quality. Last month I flew from Belgrade to Vienna, I used the toilet next to Dufry business lounge. A few days earlier I used the toilet at the baggage claim area. The BAS level of service. After landing to Vienna I used a toilet at their baggage claim area. Clean, fresh odor, soap and paper towels supplies in order, garbage baskets empty. Updated cleaning order report, with, whose else than Serbian names. I guess that not the best of the class students went to clean Vienna toilets, so it must not be their home habits that they brought to work, but a managed service that is paid by the airport to a cleaning and waste contractor which is accountable to the contract signed with the Airport. Therefore a chain of established values -> defined service level -> accountability -> justified cost is definitely missing at NT.
DeleteI complained and this is what the answer was:
Uvaženi,
Najpre, izvinjavamo se zbog neprijatnosti. Kako je u toku renoviranje navedenih delova terminala, uslovi korišćenja nisu onakvi kakvim smo u prethodnim godinama navikli svoje korisnike. Za nas usluge održavanja higijene obavlja kompanija Samsic d.o.o.
Uprkos stalnom dežurstvu osoblja na navedenim lokacijama, dešava se da u periodima dana kada je veliki broj korisnika prisutan, osoblje ne uspeva da uredi toalet iza svakog korisnika. Na žalost, u pitanju su higijenske navike korisnika toaleta.
Svaku primedbu na stanje toaleta šaljemo nadležnim rukovodiocima na dalje procesiranje, I od njih očekujemo da se u skladu s primedbom postupi korektivnim merama.
Zahvaljujemo se na vremenu izdvojenom za obraćanje, I želji da se time doprinese unapređenju usluga aerodroma.
S poštovanjem,

Therefore once again, it's clients' fault!
What does "the level of people they employ" mean?
Delete@anon 13:26 it means that they mostly employ SNS supporters
DeleteSoooooooooo slow, the only visible progress from April is baggage belt no. 5. Don't have any single nerve left for this incompetent circus managers. Really started hating this airport.
ReplyDeleteTake a chill pill and everything will be fine.
DeleteUnfortunatelly, its not going to be fine whatever chill pill he takes.
DeleteUse another airport, then, if it's bothering you so much.
DeleteBEG is a government owned business meaning it's owned by the taxpayers. They should not be forced to use other airports just because people who run the show are clowns.
DeleteBEG is under the concession of french company Vinci and they are responsible for good and bad things happening
DeleteYes but Vinci has a boss and that's the Serbian government that is the taxpayers
Delete"BEG is a government owned business meaning it's owned by the taxpayers"
DeleteLOL government owned does not mean it's owned by the taxpayers. Not in any country in the world.
It literally means that, government owned means it is owned by the people since the people elect the government. That same government uses income from taxes which are paid by the citizens ergo citizens are the bosses of every government.
DeleteIn this case Serbian citizens elect the Serbian government which runs government institutions and companies among which are Air Serbia and BEG. Who do you think paid for Jat debts? Taxpayers.
So instead of LOLing maybe educate yourself a bit more.
Нисам доктор али вам желим оздрављење.
DeleteWhen they will start construction of 4 more gates at the end of C corridor?
ReplyDeletei was just at the airport last week and the level of improvement is astounding. really impressive work so far, and even more potential for the future.
ReplyDeleteUžas
ReplyDeleteZa putnike koji presedaju i idu dalje. Za njih nema ništa novo
DeleteIs terminal 1 going to have the same fasade as the new terminal 2 C with the dark gray walls and those windows?
ReplyDeleteNo, it won't.
DeleteThat won't look good
DeleteNažalost, ne znam da li je pominjano ranije, nikada zgrada neće biti atraktivna i u skladu sa trendovima jer je ceo prostor, pošto sam sletio iz Soluna, jedna klaustrofobična zgrada, sa uzbrdicom prilikom dolaska na gate, bez ikakvog sadržaja, jedina dobra stvar, kontrola je rađena pre ulaska na gate i to su pokvarili. Ali me interesuje koji idiot je napravio u istom nivou pešački izlaz i pešački prelaz do parkinga, koji se ukršta sa trakama za taksi stanicu i stajalište za autobuse. A onda kao šlag na torti dva stuba koji presecaju traku za taksi vozila pa em ne može pravo da vozi em ne može da prođe pešački!!! Za to stvarno treba biti rođen. Autobuse nikada nisam video ali je napravljeno stajalište koje pešak bez potrebe mora da pređe da bi stigao do jednog (1) lifta ili "zmije" da bi se popeo do parkinga. A kada treba da izađe sa parkinga, dupla rampa, pa da je razumem na parkingu ali na mestu dolazaka ista takva. Čemu. A pri tome po tržnim centrima prepoznaje vreme ulaska i tablice ali i ne na međunarodnom aerodromu. Eupazi ništa više.
