Kuwait Airport T2 contract attracts three bidders

Kuwait's Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) has opened bids from three companies vying for a significant contract related to the new passenger terminal (T2) at Kuwait International Airport. The tender encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including the operation, management, and enhancement of training services, as well as the maintenance and development of the new terminal and its associated aircraft parking areas.

The project is a key component of the airport's expansion, spearheaded by the Ministry of Public Works. Once completed, the T2 terminal is designed to significantly boost the airport's capacity, accommodating up to 25 million passengers annually. The facility will feature 51 aircraft stands, a transit hotel, VIP and premium lounges, a central terminal building, and a water tank building, all designed to operate at a high service level.

Following the review by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which is expected to provide technical recommendations within 30 days, the contract award will proceed to the State Audit Bureau (SAB). The SAB will conduct a thorough audit and review before granting final approval, paving the way for the implementation phase of this crucial airport development project.
