TDT | Manama
Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications and Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) chairman Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed inaugurated yesterday the second and final construction phase of the airport’s new passenger terminal. The project milestone will see the eastern section of the current terminal demolished to make way for the western part of the new facility, which is being built adjacent.
In attendance at the ceremony were BAC CEO Mohamed Yousif Al Binfalah, representatives of main contractor Arabtec/TAV, and other officials. The Transportation Minister noted that the work was carried out without disrupting operations at the existing terminal. He emphasised the importance of maintaining these high standards while working on the remaining sections of the new terminal.
Work on the second and final phase will start as soon as the first phase has been completed, the Transportation Minister said. He reiterated that the Airport Modernisation Programme is one of the most important national development projects in the Kingdom’s history.
