Projekt prekogranične suradnje ”Airport Security and Air Taxi Network in the Adriatic (ADRIAIR)“

u kojem Zračna luka Pula d.o.o. sudjeluje kao partner, započeo je krajem 2012. godine, uz financijsku podršku Europske unije iz Programa IPA, komponenta II – Jadranska prekogranična suradnja.
Projekt je pokrenut kako bi se ostvarila dva primarna cilja, a to su: stvaranje potrebnih preduvjeta za uspostavljanje letova između dviju obala Jadranskog mora te poboljšanje sigurnosnih standarda zračnih luka uključenih u projekt.
Realizacijom projekta ujedno se očekuje i razmjena znanja između svih uključenih partnera, potpora u modernizaciji infrastrukture zračnih luka te istraživanje potencijala tržišta kao temeljnog preduvjeta za uspostavljanje letova.
Sadašnje stanje prometa i robne razmjene između dviju jadranskih obala pokazuje porazne rezultate za zračni promet jer se 62% robne razmjene ostvaruje putem pomorskog prometa, 32 % putem cestovnog prometa i 6% putem željezničkog prometa.
Zračna luka Pula te Istra kao turistička destinacija ovim projektom očekuju višestruke koristi jer će se pokušati stvoriti preduvjeti za uspostavljanje redovnih letova između Pule i talijanske regije Emilia – Romagna. Time se otvara ogromno tržište od oko 4.000.000 stanovnika regije, a sama regija poznata je kao jako talijansko industrijsko, prehrambeno i turističko područje zbog čega se može očekivati veliki broj putnika s obje strane Jadranske obale, kako u turističke, tako i u poslovne svrhe. Zračna luka Pula će ovim projektom biti u potpunosti spremna na izazove koji dolaze pristupanjem Republike Hrvatske Europskoj uniji te ojačati ekonomske i institucionalne veze kako unutar jadranske regije tako i unutar zemalja partnera projekta ADRIAIR. Pružanjem nove “ad hoc” usluge na zahtjev korisnika koje su bazirane na flotama avio-taksija Zračna luka Pula postaje pristupačnija i fleksibilnija zračna luka.
Uz Općinu Forli –Cesena, kao nositelja projekta, u projektu sudjeluju partneri iz Hrvatske, Italije, Bosne i Hercegovine te Albanije. Hrvatske partnere predstavljaju sljedeće zračne luke: Pula, Rijeka i Dubrovnik.
Ukupna vrijednost projekta iznosi više od 1.595.000,00 €, odnosno oko 12.060.000,00 kn, od čega se na Zračnu luku Pula odnosi 115.000,00 €, odnosno oko 870.000,00 kn.
Trajanje projekta iznosi 30 mjeseci, što znači da se kraj projekta očekuje u veljači 2015. godine.

Zračna luka Pula d.o.o. objavljuje poništenje postupka nabave za radove u sklopu projekta IPA ADRIATIC CBC PROGRAMME

Through the project of cross-border cooperation “ADRIAIR” Pula Airport plans to withdraw 115 thousand euros irrevocably,

he reported at the press conference at the airport director of Space Svemir Radmilo. The project was launched last year and will end in 2015 and its total value is 1.5 million euros.

Radmilo stressed that one of the main goals was to create preconditions for establishing flights between the two Adriatic coasts and to improve the safety standards of the airports involved in the project. Pula Airport plans to introduce regular or charter flights to the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, which is one of the strongest industrial and tourist centers in Italy, where more than four million people live.

The current state of trade and commodity exchange between the two Adriatic coasts is showing offensive results in air traffic, said Radmilo. According to him, 62 percent of commodity exchanges are achieved by sea, 32 percent by road and 6 percent by rail. – Air traffic trading in goods is zero and it needs to be changed. It is also unacceptable that there is no airline between Italy and Istria, Radmilo pointed out.

The negotiations for the introduction of flights to Bologna are in progress, and linking Pula with that destination will lead to the exchange and development of traffic in both directions.

– Funds are also planned to finance the Schengen flight of passengers or international arrivals, with which we will embark on a winter break at the end of this or early next year, when we are also starting to adjust to the Schengen regime. Airport and Istria as a tourist destination of this project expect multiple benefits, Radmilo said. He adds, ready to face the challenges of joining the European Union, which is confirmed by the realization of ADRIAIR.

– By providing a new ad hoc service on customer’s request, based on the fleet of airline tickets, Pula Airport becomes more accessible and more flexible, Radmilo emphasized. In addition to the Forli-Cesena municipality, which is the carrier of the project, both airports in Rijeka and Dubrovnik and partners from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy and Albania participate in the Croatian side.
