112 million euro intermodal terminal at Timisoara Airport

Timisoara Airport wants to build an intermodal terminal to ensure a connection between airport and transportation in order to possibly increase the number of passengers. The new terminal might bring 2 million more passengers according to the estimates Daniel Idolu, General Director at ‘Traian Vuia’ International Airport announced.

‘We consider building an intermodal terminal in Timisoara so that the transfer between aircraft and transportation is faster, to have an integrated system and merchants to provide tickets for public transportation. We conducted a study in this regard which includes the construction of a terminal near the airport with the possibility of expansion depending on traffic volume. We want to build a shopping center between the terminal and the airport so as to ensure additional sources for airport operations’, says Idolu.

The project that has an estimated cost of EUR112 million should be implemented between 2014 and 2020. Apart from the financing that might be provided by EU, the project could also be supported by partnerships with private investors.
