Jeddah Airport Expansion - renders
Hi there,
I got some renders of the new terminal complex that's going to replace the current crap we have at the moment. I thought I might share them with you: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63...port/jed-2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63...port/jed-1.jpg What do you think? This is the masterplan. Phase 1 (supposed to finish in 2011 :rolleyes: ) is the bottom x shaped building only, the two satellites are for future expansion. |

Considering the original NEW Jeddah airport opened a whole seven years late, and 34L had to be re-built three times....one wonders if this fiasco will ever get off the ground?:bored:
|
I'm pretty sure something will be done, what how where and when I don't know, but JED airport cannot go on in it's current state for long. I think it helps that it's a DBOT, since the private sector should do things better. But I think 2011 is unrealistic, since it hasn't been put to tender yet, and I doubt the winning bidder will be chosen before 2008.

The construction companies are setting up their management sites, so i guess that it is going to happen....
Now what are they going to do with Riyadh? Mutt |
Hi Mutt,
Happy to hear the contractors are there. Relief is in sight! Regarding Riyadh airport, do they need any expansion work? They have a whole terminal unused. If things get tight they can always open the fourth terminal. |
It has gone beyond tight..... 10-30 minute arrival delays due to gate congestion are common, its worth remembering that NAS and SAMA have few aircraft so this problem will only get worse.
Its time for terminal 4 to be opened :) Mutt |
