Work on the expansion of the passenger terminal at Venice Airport is due to end by May 2026.
The new terminal will overlook the lagoon
Work on the new terminal is advancing at a fast pace. The first part of a development in several interconnected phases, is located adjacent to the air terminal, to which it will be connected by a suspended corridor, and consists of a 14,300 sqm building with large bright areas overlooking the aircraft apron and the lagoon. The investment for this part of the airport development is approximately €64 million.
Four levels with boarding gates and passenger services
Dedicated mainly to Schengen flights, the new building is on the north side of the airport and is architecturally and stylistically aligned with the current terminal which was inaugurated in 2002. Using brick, wood, steel, copper, and Istrian stone, the facade faces the lagoon with a double-pitch profile that recalls Venice’s Arsenal building. The project is on four levels: a basement level for warehouses, a ground floor with four gates for remote boarding with runway buses, a first floor with six gates serving three piers for aircraft boarding, a mezzanine level, and a second floor with about 1,000 sqm for passenger services and commercial use such as refreshment outlets, shops, relaxation areas, and a nursery.
“The aim is a progressive reduction of CO2 production”
“The upgrading of the airport infrastructure is proceeding according to plan, with homogeneous architectural criteria compared to the existing one, and technical solutions aimed at the progressive reduction of CO2 production, with the goal of achieving zero emissions by 2030,- says Enrico Marchi, president of the Save Group. -The guiding principle of this expansion is the quality of the service we offer our passengers, starting from the style of the terminal, which is airy and bright and with commercial areas that include international brands as well as local products, with a view to personalizing the overall experience for our users."
