The consultant is to provide cost managment services
Turner & Townsend has won the cost manager role on the expansion of Dubai鈥檚 Al Maktoum International Airport.
Part of a wider $32bn (拢22.1bn) development programme, the expansion of the existing passenger terminal 鈥� originally opened in 2013 鈥� will include a larger immigration hall providing 55 control counters, an extended departure area with 91 check-in desks and an extra 12 boarding gates and lounges, a new outbound baggage handling building, and additional parking and approach roads.
Once the full extent of redevelopment work is completed, the airport鈥檚 capacity will ultimately be increased by 25% to more than 200 million passengers a year.
The consultant has been appointed by Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP), the engineering arm of Dubai Aviation City Corporation.
Mike Collings, managing director, Middle East for Turner & Townsend, said the commission further strengthened T&T鈥檚 aviation profile in the Middle East, adding that he was delighted and honoured to be working again with DAEP and that the consultant was now 鈥渂uilding momentum鈥� in Dubi鈥檚 growth as an international hub for air travel.
