Cluj “Avram Iancu” International Airport has launched a tender for the design and construction of the “East Parking Facility,” an infrastructure project estimated at €6.13 million (cited in documentation at RON 32.28 million, or approximately €6.4 million). The investment reflects the airport authority’s strategy to expand and directly manage its passenger parking capacities.
The contract has a projected duration of 14 months, with an offer submission deadline of October 20, 2026, at 15:00, with the award based on the best price-quality ratio. The project incorporates a five-year supplier credit financing mechanism provided by the winning contractor, a model allowing the authority to stagger payments for materials, equipment, and labor. The expansion decision comes as the main parking area in front of the terminals is operated independently by GOTO Parking (a concession initially started by UTI over a decade ago), a relationship historically strained by disputes over tariffs and land administration. Following GOTO Parking investors’ exit in 2025 after a six-year holding period, the concessionaire’s new leadership seeks a more collaborative relationship with the airport, even as the authority moves forward with developing its own parking facilities.
