Chișinău Airport may get a new EUR 500 million terminal by 2031
The government plans a new terminal at Chișinău Airport for up to 10 million passengers a year. The EUR 500 million project is at an early stage.
The authorities plan a new terminal at Chișinău “Eugen Doga” International Airport, together with upgrades to the runway, taxiways and aprons. The project is valued at EUR 500 million in total, with completion proposed for 2031.
The new terminal is designed for 2,800 passengers per hour, and after modernisation the airport could handle up to 10 million passengers a year. The project is only starting: a 15-year development Master Plan is being contracted and funding sources are still being identified. The terminal is one of 19 investment projects the government presented on 29 October, with deadlines between 2030 and 2035.
What it means for you
- Travel agencies, carriers and hotels can expect higher passenger traffic in the long run.
- Builders and equipment suppliers should watch the tenders for the Master Plan and works.
- For now it is a plan, not a building site: funding has not yet been secured.
