KUWAIT’S General Directorate of Civil Aviation is expected to sign a KD19-million ($66.7 million) deal with the UK-based Foster & Partners for the design of a passenger terminal at Kuwait airport.
The new terminal’s capacity will be 13 million passengers a year, bringing the airport’s total capacity to about 20 million a year.
The authority also plans to widen and extend the two existing runways at the airport and eventually build a third runway.
