After 2 years of construction the new terminal (T2) opened in Serbia’s capital Belgrade in May 2006. The new terminal is now the leading airport in the region. The airport has a capacity of 5 million passengers and is equipped with gates that can handle the Airbus A380. The airport has 30 check in desks and the latest security technology. Terminal 2 will now be the airports main terminal.
Here are photos. When you click on them they will enlarge

A bit off-topic (except for the name), but it would be nice if WAW finally finished their Terminal 2. They managed to get a 16 month delay on a project that was supposed to take 2 years.
I did see a few airbridges sticking out of the thing last weekend though. It's supposed to partially open this month, at least the new arrivals part. Not a moment to soon either. Maybe the airbridges will be used too? I hope to be able to tell a bit more in 2 weeks.

On-topic, why on earth do people install that type of baggage belt? They have the same flat-and-open-inside belts at WAW; every time the belts are used at least one piece of luggage falls off to the inside of the belt, making it hard to get to it. Is it really that hard to at least make a high edge on the inside of the belt to prevent that?

I like the new terminal. It looks all new and modern. The only problem i have is that T1 is still bigger than T2, but people refer to T1 as the smaller "domestic terminal". T1 to my knowledge has atleast 8 gates. T2 has gone from 4 to now 6 gates.
Yes, the new terminal is a bit small, but so are the passenger numbers. This is will change next year when LCC and other airline start their flights to BEG, and to other Serbian airports.
I have some pics of the check in desks at BEG, but am trying to find the links.
Well T2 looks fantastic, so i can't wait to see what will be the final result of T1. A third terminal looks likely to happen. This will come with the completed cargo terminal, and a 2nd runway also capable to hold the A380.

All i can say is that i think a new control tower is being built for BEG. I'm not too sure, because i know that serveral other Serbian airports are also having a re-construction done to them as well. Uzice/Ponikve, Kraljevo are the ones on the top of my head that i can remember. Both those are said to be getting cargo carriers once their re-construction is done.
I have seen some pictures of Terminal 2 from outside looking towards the gates. When at the gates of T2, writen in large Serbian cyrilic lettering and also in English writes "Nikola Tesla", which is below the Aerodrom Beogard letters.
Recently, BEG enjoyed the arrival of 3 An 124 a/c's taking cars to HKT for a competition. On the same day, an Iceland Air B757 also came into BEG from Reykjavik bound for AUH. It was said to be carrying Pamela Anderson and a few other famous Americans, who stayed the night in Beograd, but am not sure if it is true.

Yes that's true. It was for "Gumball 3000".JAT_boy_BEG wrote:All i can say is that i think a new control tower is being built for BEG.

Yesterday Airport Belgrade also announced construction of Valjevo Airport
Absolutely right, but as soon as they find out that placing advertisement there, they will fill the gap.earthman wrote:On-topic, why on earth do people install that type of baggage belt?

I hope that they will continue with reconstruction of terminal 2 at the gates and the area close to it. I mean 80 % is finished but not the waiting area at the gates, they should change the floor, put new windows that you could look out, more wc and tv-with advertising etc. And i also hope that they would add another floor on the roof with exclusive restaurants, business lounge and perhaps a atari/sega corner for kids too. T1 should integrate with t2 because we do not ned 6 gates for domestic travelling any longer, perhaps gates a7-9 should serve nis and kopaonik/raska region. The metallic chairs should be sold and new ones be bought, they are too sad to sit or to look on
