Today, the Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, Tomislav Momirovic, symbolically marked the beginning of works on the construction of the runway, signalization, taxiways and accompanying facilities at the “Rosulje” airport in Krusevac.
The new airport will have two runways with a length of 1,300 and 800 meters, and it will be possible to accept aircraft with a wingspan of 12 to 24 meters, the ministry announced.
“By building the Rosulje airport and relocating from the existing location, we are resolving the issue of the airport near Krusevac, while on the other hand the greater value for Krusevac and the whole region is that by removing the old airport we are freeing very attractive land in the industrial zone for new companies,” Momirovic said.
According to him, the location of the old airport was not favorable for the development of the industrial zone in Krusevac.
“Now we are getting additional land for the construction of new factories, while with the construction of the new airport ‘Rosulje’, we will enable faster access to domestic and foreign investors to their companies that they opened in the Rasina region. The project for the development of this airport, as well as other airports throughout Serbia, shows the correctness of the policy of the Government of Serbia to pay special attention to investing in smaller airports that will enable accelerated development of air traffic in our country,” said Minister Momirovic.
The Minister also used the visit to Krusevac to tour the works on the Moravian Corridor.
“The works on the Moravian Corridor are proceeding with great dynamics. The expropriation of land is in progress and is flowing without delay along the entire route. In sectors 1 and 3, the percentage of expropriation is 100 percent, while in sector 2, 90 percent of the land is expropriated. It is an incredible feeling when I come to the Moravian Corridor and when I think that with this most modern highway that is being built in this part of Europe, we will be able to connect the Belgrade-Nis highway with the Milos Veliki highway – east and west of Serbia,” concluded Minister Momirovic, BizLife reports.
