Kuwait to ink airport terminal design deal

Kuwait's General Directorate of Civil Aviation is expected to sign a $66.7m deal with the UK-based Foster & Partners for the design of a passenger terminal at Kuwait airport, Meed has reported. Capacity of the terminal will reach 13 million passengers a year, bringing the airport's total capacity to about 20 million passengers a year. The authority also plans to widen and extend the two existing runways at the airport and eventually build a third runway.
