Turkish-based international company “TAV” has completed the reconstruction of the Ohrid-based airport “St. Paul the Apostle”.
The opening ceremony is set to be held on Sunday. Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and Head of “TAV” Sani Sener will address the attendees.
„TAV Airports Holding“ took over Macedonian airports in March 2010.
The reconstruction of Skopje-base airport will be completed in October.
They plan to invest around 200 million euros.
New look for St. Paul
The upgrade of Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport’s terminal has been completed, as was originally agreed upon between the Government of Macedonia and TAV Holdings, the airport’s owner. The airport’s new look terminal will be officially opened tomorrow by the Macedonian Prime Minister, Nikola Gruevski, and the TAV management in the country.
A 1.000 square meter hanger and a 2.000 square meter VIP lounge have been built at Ohrid Airport as part of the project. The airport has also received a 6.000 square meter parking lot. However, little work has been done on the passenger terminal with many wondering where TAV’s millions of Euros, allocated for the project, have been spent.
Nevertheless, TAV has delivered good on its promise to upgrade Ohrid and the project was completed on time. Work is ongoing at Skopje Airport where a new terminal is being built and expected to be completed by the end of October.
