The expansion is part of a wider $ 32bn development program that can be accommodate more than 200 million passengers a year when finished in 2027, making it the biggest in the world.
Mike Collings, T&T’s Middle East managing director, said:
“We’re honored to be working so closely with DAEP once again, and this assignment
further fortifies our aviation profile in the Middle East.
“Our experience of providing complex programs in live airports
will help us run the ongoing extension while minimizing the impact on
day-to-day operations, and allow DAEP to plan for future growth.
“We have built a strong reputation working on some of the world's largest aviation projects, and I’m delighted that we are now building momentum in the rapid growth of Dubai as an international hub for air travel.”
