Runway 10/28 is currently being renovated for the second time after 1985. The central reservation of runway 70/80 will be renewed in stages over a period of around 10 to 28 nights.

Your median, which is over 30 years old, has reached the end of its useful life. The concrete runway in the area of ​​the median is replaced in stages with an asphalt surface during the nightly breaks in airport operations. "In this way we ensure that the aircraft can take off and land normally on the runway during the day," said the airport in a broadcast. Assuming the weather continues to be dry, the main measures could be completed before the summer holidays. You can see details of the renovation in Video.
