A team of Germany's Dorsch Consultand the local Salem al-Marzouk & Sabah Abi-Hanna (SSH)signed in late June the contract to update a masterplan and feasibility study for the upgrade and expansion of Kuwait International Airport (KIA). NACOof the Netherlands, which was also one of a number of bidders for the consultancy contract, drew up the original masterplan. The Directorate of Civil Aviation is the client (MEED 16: 4:04).
The nine-month contract covers an upgrade of the existing terminal and the construction of a second terminal, which is planned to be implemented on a build-operate-transfer basis. The size of the second terminal has still to be determined: the existing runway's capacity allows for a new terminal of up to 15 million passengers a year. KIA has capacity to handle up to 5 million passengers a year.
