Airport modernisation and enhancements are pivotal to optimising client service and business operations, as well as ensuring that infrastructures are safe and more efficient as time passes. A prime example of this is the recent runway upgrades at the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, Serbia.
The build was entrusted to German construction leader Fliegl Baukom, using the groundbreaking ASW Thermo Push-off Trailer—their trademark equipment with a proven track record in efficient, safe, and effective construction for various industries.
It is a common challenge for large-scale asphalting projects to face issues in maintaining the mix’s consistent temperature. Fluctuations can lead to the asphalt cracking and with a reduced adhesion. The ASW Thermo Push-off Trailer combats exactly that.
It allowed for 270,000 tonnes of asphalt on the 7-kilometre runway to be laid out with extreme precision and temperature stability. This is due to the trailer’s special thermal insulation, ensuring that the material is at optimum temperature from transport to paving.
Additionally, the trailer possesses innovative push-off technology that conventional asphalt tippers do not have in the market. Fliegl’s equipment enables a controlled and even material discharge, which prevents material losses, compaction problems, and imprecise dosing.
Safety is also a big factor in the ASW Thermo, with no risk of tipping over since it relies on a push-off mechanism. This is a clear advantage on uneven construction sites, and with the reduced losses on asphalt, it equally reduces CO₂ emissions and empowers a more sustainable construction process.
This push-off trailer from Fliegl demonstrates a strong commitment to optimising aviation constructions, ensuring that safety, sustainability, and efficiency remain top priorities in delivering value not just to businesses they partner with, but also to the greater industry.

Meet key players in the industry at inter airport Europe
October 7 - 9, 2025 | Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany
Editor’s note
inter airport Europe is a must attend event for the global airport industry, an exhibition and seminar event targeting airport operators looking to source airport equipment, technology and services for ground handling, terminal operations, airport IT and airport design.
The show has always attracted an international audience, offering in-depth perspectives on new and emerging technologies that will help airports streamline their infrastructure, systems, and processes whilst meeting rising costs and compliance, in line with the United Nations’ commitment (backed by 145 countries) to meet net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
