Besides the expansion and reconstruction of the existing capacities of the Tuzla International Airport, another project is being realized. A customs terminal for storage of airplane fuel, for which the airport got a license for supplying airlines and airplanes with Jet A1 fuel, is being built.
That is the centerpiece of the activities that the management of the airport, alongside the Government of the Tuzla Canton, began two years ago.
“All preparations are completed and we’re expecting a construction permit. We’re hoping that we’ll get that sometime next week so we can enter the final phase of the project,” Rifer Karasalihovic, the director of the Tuzla International Airport said.
The customs terminal is necessary since the number of operations and the fuel consumption are increased. The construction of the terminal will cost the airport 1 million BAM and will place the airport among those that are supplying airline companies with cheap fuel. The final phase will cost 338,000 BAM. The Tuzla Airport is financing the project alone.
Review and control of the quality of the fuel will conduct the newly built laboratory of the International Airport Tuzla. All ecological norms set by the law will be followed, so the fuel tanks will be placed on rubber surfaces.
The author of the project is the Institute for the Protection of Ecology and Education d.o.o Tuzla.
