The order covers everything from construction to maintenance, and is expected to be valued at nearly $1bn.

"The deal will be on a public-private partnership basis."

With the latest development, the DCA will enter into negotiation with the CAPE-JGC consortium for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of Hanthawaddy International Airport (HIA) and its facilities.
