He added that the third phase of the project has four main components: construction of the third runway, development of airport infrastructure, construction of a new air traffic control tower, and redevelopment and construction of the eastern runway. He stated that “the previous phases of the project witnessed 100 percent completion in terms of infrastructure, third runway, and new air traffic control tower. Preparations are underway to start the reconstruction of the old eastern runway once the third runway becomes operational. This is expected to be completed within 14 months.” He indicated that the project, valued at KD180 million, is a qualitative leap in the development of airport infrastructure. He affirmed that the plan of DGCA includes 11 projects to develop air navigation and meteorological systems and complete the three modern runway systems, which will make Kuwait International Airport one of the most modern airports in the region in terms of infrastructure and capacity.
