Expansion Plans
In 2009, Bihor County and Search Corporation agreed to extend the runway to 2,400 m (7,874 ft) and construct a cargo terminal. The future development strategy also includes the construction of a new passenger terminal. The airport will be able to receive a larger number of passengers and cargo aircraft. The passenger terminal is currently (December 2010) under major reconstruction in order to comply with the Schengen Area security measures. The reconstruction is scheduled to finish in March 2011, the possible Romanian joining date of the Schengen Area.
Deloitte Consulting together with the Bostina&Asociatii lawfirm will provide legal and financial advisory services for the development of the airport.

Famous quotes containing the words expansion and/or plans:
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
