Company Profile

Košice Airport was built in 1951 near the city of Košice, Slovak Republic, and has been growing ever since. In December 2004 Košice Airport became a civil international airport. By the end of the same year, the airport succeeded in opening a new T2 terminal. In the summer of 2005, it received a “Construction of the Year? award at the 11th National public contest. Košice Airport has also recently exceeded the record for the number of handled passengers. In January 2006 the TwoOne consortium has been recommended to the Slovak cabinet as the winner of a tender for 66-percent stakes in Bratislava and Košice airports. Investments in Košice airport should exceed €24 million by the end of 2015.

Resolution
