New passenger terminal to be built at Transylvanian airport

Approximately a million Hungarians are to get a new passenger terminal at a main Transylvanian airport. The development of Târgu Mures Airport will not only improve transport but will also lay the foundations for the economic development and prosperity of Mures County, said Ferenc Péter, President of the Mures County Municipality.

The airport is currently undergoing its biggest-ever investment of EUR 35 million from EU funds. The modernisation is a major milestone in the development of infrastructure and economic recovery in the Central Transylvanian region, turizmus.com reports.

The project will include the construction of a new passenger terminal with a capacity for 1,000 people and the extension of the aircraft parking area. The latter is almost complete. In addition, a bus stop will be built on the main road in front of the airport and a roundabout will be created to facilitate access to the facility.

According to the county council, increasing the number of flights in Mures County is key to making the airport one of the “gateways” to Transylvania.

“EU funds have enabled us to launch investments in recent years that we could not have carried out on our own. If we had relied only on the local budget, we would not have a renovated Culture Palace, running water, modern roads and we would not be able to develop the airport to the same extent,” the statement quoted Ferenc Péter, President of the Mures County Assembly, as saying.
