A project to develop an airport on Hoarafushi island was handed Monday to the state-owned Maldives Transport and Contracting Company.
A contract was signed between Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Aishath Nahula and MTCC managing director Hassan Shah at a ceremony on the island in the northernmost Haa Alif atoll.
An Environment Impact Assessment for the project has been completed and “equipment will be brought to the island and mobilised within the next three to four days,” Shah assured at the ceremony.
An excavator will start digging to prepare for the arrival of MTCC’s dredger Mahaa Jarraaf, he added.
