The Saudi Binladin group has been awarded a massive project to construct a new passenger terminal at the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport for an undisclosed amount.
The state-owned Maldives Airports Company Ltd signed a contract with the Saudi construction giant last night.
Speaking at the ceremony, MACL Managing Director Adil Moosa said the new terminal will be built on reclaimed land in the southwest of the airport island. With a floor area of 78,000 square meters, the new terminal will have 40 departure checking counters, 38 immigration counters, 12 jetties, and six aero-bridges.
President Abdulla Yameen inaugurated a monument for the project at the commencement ceremony.
