The selection followed a bidding process that saw the consortium offer 77.6% of revenues to the government.
Under the terms of the agreement, the consortium will fund, design and construct a new 175,000m² terminal with 37 aircraft stands. This will increase the airport’s capacity to 30 million passengers, with the potential for expansion beyond 45 million in the future.
The contract will require the consortium to undertake other development projects including the renovation of existing installations with the redesign and extension of the current terminal.
In addition, the companies will be responsible for the operation and commercial development of the main infrastructures including existing terminal and new terminals, car parks and future property developments for a period of 20 years.
