Expansion plan

Due to fast growing air traffic and Slovenia's entry into the European Union, which requires the separation of traffic into Schengen and non-Schengen, Brnik Airport has prepared a plan for the construction of a new passenger terminal. The new terminal will be built in two phases. Please wikify (format) this article as suggested in the Guide to layout and the Manual of Style. ... An airport terminal is a building at an airport where passengers transfer from ground transportation to the facilities that allow them to board airplanes. ...


The first phase, which is currently under construction, must be completed by the end of July 2007 to accommodate Slovenia's entry into the Schengen zone in October 2007. The existing terminal building (T1) will be extended and renovated completely. One floor will be added on top of the existing departure lounge, on which four jetways will be installed. This structure will later serve as a connecting walkway to the second terminal building (T2). After completion, the airport will gain 4,000  (43,056 sq ft) of new surfaces, to ensure the separation of Schengen and non-Schengen traffic.  Implementing countries  Implementing through partnership with a signatory state  Members (not yet implemented)  Expressed interest in joining A monument to the Agreement in Schengen A typical Schengen border crossing without any border control post, just the common EU-state sign welcoming the visitor, as here between Germany and Austria The...

T2, the future second terminal

The second phase, which will begin in late 2008, includes the construction of a completely new airport terminal (T2). It will be built right next to the old one (T1), using the existing infrastructure as a connecting walkway. The new terminal building (T2) will expand over 38,000 m² (409,029 sq ft), where 40 check-in counters will be set up, including some automatic ones. Luggage will be thoroughly inspected and the installation of three baggage carousels is planned for luggage claim. There will be room in the terminal for airlines, travel agencies, restaurants and shops, and there are also plans for business lounges and additional services for passengers. The capacity of T2 will be 850 departing passengers per hour and 850 arriving passengers per hour. T2 will only be used for Schengen traffic, while non-Schengen traffic will flow through the new part of the old terminal (T1). This will make some redundant space in T1 which will be transformed for commercial purposes. The construction is expected to be completed by 2010.

Airport Burgas :: home (371 words)
The potential of Burgas Airport for handling passengers and cargo has a strong effect on the development of a transport network, tourism and trade between partners from the East and the West.
One of the greatest strengths of Bourgas Airport is the excellent opportunity it provides for intermodal transportation by air, sea and land – Bulgaria’s busiest Port of Bourgas, an important railway junction, the E 87 international motorway and Trans European Corridor № 8 are all located just 10 to 15 km away from the airport.
In 2007 Burgas Airport will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the airport, when in the distant 1927 aviation experts from the Air CIDNA French airline /later renamed to Air France/ chose the site for an airport to be built there.
