Feb 23, 2009 (newstodate): In March, 2009, work will start on a major project to expand Slovenia's Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport.
Comprised by the project, expected to be completed within three months, is the construction of additional aircraft parking stands, a larger area for de-icing aircraft, an emergency access road, an internal fuel station, and a modernised water pumping station for firefighting purposes.
The existing main apron will be extended approximately 38,500 sq m, providing the airport with five more aircraft stands.
The extended section of the apron will be connected to the existing taxiway by means of a new connecting section.
The enlargement of the apron is also necessary because of the need for substitute aircraft stands to take the place of those that will be closed during construction of the new passenger terminal.
