Register for MEED’s 14-day trial access 

A joint venture of Beijing-headquartered China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and Dammam-based Mofarreh AlHarbi & Partners has won a deal to undertake the enabling and substructure works for Terminal 6 at King Salman International airport (KSIA) in Riyadh.

The contract was awarded by King Salman International Airport Development Company (KSIADC).

In March, MEED exclusively reported that KSIADC had selected three groups for the main construction of Terminal 6.

KSIADC, which is backed by Saudi sovereign wealth vehicle the Public Investment Fund, will initially deliver the Terminal 6 main works on an early contractor involvement basis.

The latest development follows KSIADC’s receipt of prequalification statements from contractors on 1 July for two new packages at KSIA.

These include the construction of a permanent East-West corridor and landside access roads serving the North and South terminals.

In May, KSIADC selected three groups to deliver the Terminal 6 apron, taxiways and other airfield infrastructure at KSIA.

MEED reported in May 2025 that US firm Bechtel Corporation had been appointed as the delivery partner for the terminals at KSIA.

Terminal 6 will boost the airport’s capacity by 40 million passengers.

The project is expected to be delivered before the start of Expo 2030 Riyadh.
