Contracts awarded
Commenting on contracts awarded, Al Zaffin said, “Several major packages required for the first phase of the project — including the Automated
People Mover (APM) and the Baggage Handling System (BHS) — are currently in the tendering stage, with contracts expected to be awarded later this
year.”

“Additionally, the terminal substructure, early 132kV substations, and district cooling plants are the next packages to be tendered this year, laying the
foundation for the subsequent delivery phases,” he added.

Al Zaffin also said that negotiations are underway with contractors. "There will be so many contracts...The (contract) for the second runway has been
awarded, and we are talking about something like a billion for a runway."

He added. "We are going through all the enabling works (which has been awarded a Dh75 million contract), infrastructure and structural work, and then
we are going with super structure," he said.
