The airport master plan is in an advanced stage of development and the lighting system will be installed in August
The project of Airport Ruse Ltd, with which the investor committed to carry out a number of improvements at Ruse Airport for its gradual development as a civil airport, continues to be implemented at an accelerated pace.
The 9-kilometer perimeter fence has been fully constructed, the vegetation in the area has been treated with specialized equipment, the runway and taxiways have been completely cleaned. Mulching of the airfield area and grass mowing has also been carried out to ensure optimum conditions for flights. Two wind indicators, or so-called windsocks, have already been installed. "socks", which meet specific requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO and are mandatory for every airport. They are placed on purpose-built foundations that also meet aviation requirements.
The investors have also purchased stationary and mobile fuel tankers.
During the renovation of the passenger terminal, the broken glass panes were replaced with exact replicas. The walls and ceilings have been refreshed without disturbing their interior identity, and all the interior furnishings have been kept intact. Internet connection has been provided in the renovated offices on the second floor of the terminal, as well as rooms and bathrooms for the pilots.
The next stage envisages the construction of a lighting system on the runway, and the investors have already contracted foreign companies to manufacture the necessary equipment. Delivery and installation are expected in August. The creation of a Master Plan, which will make the airport a civil airport and is a key element of its development, is also in an advanced stage of development.
We would like to remind you that at the end of February this year, following a decision of the Ruse Municipal Council, voted almost unanimously, the Municipality concluded a contract with Airport Ruse Ltd. The company is owned by Antoni Tarnitsov, an expert in the field of Bulgarian aviation, who also has experience from his work on the concession analysis of Rousse Airport in 2017, and Hristo Krusharski, whose business is related to airplane extraction and hail control systems. The continuously growing interest in the service implies a flow of secure funds to be invested in the airport. It is important to note that with the attraction of the investor, the municipal budget was freed from the annual maintenance of the airport. For the calendar year 2022 its amount reached 91 thousand. lv. Until now, the municipal enterprise "Parkstroy" took care of the maintenance.
