Satu Mare County Council signed on February 13 a contract worth over RON 312 mln (EUR 63 mln) for the modernization of Satu Mare International Airport, including the building of a new terminal.

Also, the existing terminal and boarding platform will be expanded, and the runway will be rehabilitated.
