Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) plans to spend nearly $8.2 billion on 14 strategic projects aimed at developing the country’s main airport, said a report.
The investment will transform it into an active regional center for air transport, passengers and cargo, reported Arab News, citing the DGCA officials.
The key projects include a new terminal being built at an estimated cost of $5 billion that can accommodate 25 million passengers per annum in addition to a third runway and a control tower.
The rest of the budget will develop operations, air navigation and development besides an aircraft catering building and security services project, the report added.
