The construction works on the second runway at the Chisinau International Airport are underway. The decision to build the second runway was taken with the aim of not restricting air traffic at the airport. The new runway will be 2,400 meters in length and 45 meters in width and flights on it will be operated nonstop. Thus, while the main runway (3,590 m) will be under reconstruction, aircraft will use the newly built airstrip, IPN reports, quoting Avia Invest.

According to a press release of the company, embankment, soil stabilization and concrete laying works are now performed. These involve 150 workers and 50 units of equipment. The concrete is produced by Strabag Grup. The works cover an area of 100,000 square meters that includes the second runway, the platform, etc. These are fully renewed.

Currently, repair and reconstruction works are simultaneously performed in a number of directions and these cover both the terminal and the airdrome.
