The estimated AED 400 million ($110 million) scheme is intended to provide ground facilities for the Emiri flight. DCA has invited contractors to prequalify for construction and civil engineering packages, with a value not exceeding AED 50 million ($14 million), which fall under the scope of the $4,200 million phase 2 expansion of the airport.

DCA is current examining options for the provision of private funding for the remainder of the scheme (MEED 23:4:04).
