The construction of the E-class parking area is part of Tallinn Airport’s long-term development plan, improving the airport’s ability to accommodate large and heavy aircraft. The parking spaces planned next to the runway will serve several purposes in the future. On the one hand, they will have the function of receiving military aircraft. On the other hand, they will be able to offer aviation-related companies a place to store and transport cargo and provide aircraft maintenance services.
Tallinna Lennujaam Board Chairman Rīvo Tunik emphasized that Tallinn Airport plays an important role in receiving military flights, and the new parking spaces will eliminate the shortcomings of strategic military mobility capabilities at the airport.
In an area of less than 50,000 square meters, it will be possible to accommodate up to four large aircraft or more smaller aircraft. The new parking spaces will be 380 meters long and 140 meters wide.
In addition to this contract, Tallinn Lennujaam is building a fuel storage infrastructure to increase the security of supply in Estonia. Both projects are co-financed in the amount of 50% from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), while the Estonian Reserve Center and “Tallinn Lennujaam” jointly cover their own part of the financing. The total cost of the project is 14 million euros.
“Nordecon” is a group of construction companies working in Estonia, Ukraine and Sweden. Last year, its revenue was 278 million euros. Almost 560 people work in the group.
