Technical parameters

Construction Length of the Runway:

• 3,550 m

Construction Width of the Runway:

• 45 m (with the highest bearing capacity)
• 60 m (basic)
• 75 m (including side-stripes)

Runway Stripe:

• length 3,670 m
• width 300 m

The Overall Area Necessary for the Construction:

• 2,761,599 m2

Operational Status:

• RWY 06R precision approach navigation system of Category III
• RWY 24L  precision approach navigation system of Category III

Carriageway:
The carriageway framework in the areas of the extreme bearing demand will be rigid with a cement concrete finish; other parts will have a feldspar finish. The protection layer will be formed by gravel; the foundation layer by gritrock with cement stabilization; the top layer will have a cement concrete or cement tar finish. The overall thickness of the construction will be about one metre.

Location:
The new runway will replace the current runway 04/22 that has for a long time been out of operation and used only for parking of aircraft. The runway will be parallel with the existing runway RWY 06/24 at the distance of 1,525 metres to allow for independent operations of both runways. The operations of runway 13/31 will consecutively be limited to the cases of maintenance, exceptional situations or situations when the runway 06/24 is affected by a very strong side wind.

Technical Equipment:
The radio navigation system of the new runway has been designed to allow the approach and landing of aircraft in both directions even at harsh weather conditions, respectively at zero visibility without any manual interference of the crew. The runway has been designed to also service aircraft of Airbus A380 type.
