In recent years, Kuwait has undergone rapid economic growth, a fact illustrated by the spectacular increase in air traffic at its international airport (KIA).
The Kuwait International Airport has doubled its passenger traffic over the last 8 years, handling an increase from less than 5 million to 9 million passengers between 2004 and 2012, and with 12 million forecast by 2020.
As a result of this growth, the Kuwaiti Government has set up an investment plan for expanding and modernising the airport, which includes building a new passenger terminal, a third runway and expansion and refurbishment of the two existing runways, a second control tower, taxiways, various platforms and a new administrative building for the aeronautical authority, in addition to a programme of projects for air navigation and communications facilities.
With considerable experience in developing airport expansion plans, Ineco has undertaken the project management of the airport expansion programme, bringing to the project its know-how and experience in managing major airport expansion plans and providing continuous support in any technical works arising during the course of its project management services.
