This week VINCI Airports celebrated the beginning of its 25-year concession of Nikola Tesla Airport, an international gateway to Belgrade, the Serbian capital. The celebration event, which featured a symbolic handover of the keys to the airport, was attended by Ana Brnabić, Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, and Nicolas Notebaert, CEO of VINCI Concessions and President of VINCI Airports.

Over the next 25 years, VINCI aims to consolidate the position of Nikola Tesla as the leading airport in the Balkans region. To achieve this ambition, the company plans to invest more than EUR730 million (US$824.7 million) over the course of the concession to upgrade and modernize the airport and increase the 5 million passengers currently welcomed every year to 15 million by the end of the concession.
 
The concession represents the start of the company's operations in Serbia. It is also the first concession in the history of the country.
