December 8 (SeeNews) - Belgrade international airport has handled a record five million passengers year-to-date, the Serbian government said in a statement on Friday.
In April, the managing director of Belgrade airport operator Aerodrom Nikola Tesla [BEL:AERO], Sasa Vlaisavljevic, said the airport targets passenger traffic of 5.5 million in 2017. The airport will book record-high results in terms of passenger traffic, number of aircraft handled and financial performance this year, he noted.
The airport has the capacity to handle up to 7.5 million passengers annually and expects traffic will rise gradually in the coming years, infrastructure minister Zorana Mihajlovic said back in July.
