Work on the Phase 1 of Jeddah’s King Abdul-Aziz International Airport (KAIA) project is on schedule for completion by the end of 2014 and operations are expected to start in the first half of 2015.

The KAIA Development Project (KADP) is being implemented in three phases by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).

The Phase 1 will increase the airport’s annual capacity from 13 million to 30 million passengers by 2015. Phase 2 is expected to be completed in 2020, increasing the capacity to 50 million passengers per year and phase 3 is expected to be completed in 2035 taking the capacity to 80 million passengers per year.

In May 2014, 65 per cent of the work on Phase 1 was complete. The construction of the MRO facility, the new terminal, and the automated people mover was ongoing, the fuel oil terminal was under planning and the bids for the construction contract of the aprons were under evaluation.

The project’s construction related work was 75 per cent complete with the Passenger Complex Building’s ceiling being finalized. The dedicated rail line for the APM (automated people mover) that will transport passenger between the processing area and international hub was to be in place soon.

The scope of work of phase 1 is as follows:

* Airfield facilities upgrade - Upgrade of runways and taxiways; renewal of airfield ground lighting (AGL) and related infrastructure; accommodation of Code F aircraft and upgrading of the airfield facilities for the Haj terminal. 

* Aprons - Construction of six aprons with a built-up area of 250,000 sq m
