Pristina Airport Becomes Second Busiest One in Former Yugoslavia
During the January-November period it handled 974,212 passengers, a decrease of some 58% on the year before, which is well below the European average, the portal writes.
Pristina Airport itself was closed for over three months due to the coronavirus pandemic. During the first week of December, it handled 16,899 travelers, while just between December 19 and December 23, it processed 23,000 passengers.
Overall, the number of flight operations decreased by some 50%. Due to the new strain of the coronavirus found in the United Kingdom, flights from London have been suspended.
Pristina Airport is in the process of extending its runway from 2,500 to 3,000 meters, while its Instrument Landing System (ILS) will be upgraded from category II to category IIIb, enabling aircraft to land in more adverse weather conditions.
– 90% of the work has been completed, however, due to the local and global effects of the pandemic, the project has been re-scheduled in cooperation with all the stakeholders and is now planned for completion in July 2021– Gokmen Aritay, Pristina Airport’s Chief Operations Officer, told EX-YU Aviation News.
