The expansion will involve paving a total area of 15,300 square meters, effectively doubling the airport’s current aircraft parking capacity. Presently, Maafaru International Airport can accommodate 13 business jets simultaneously, but upon completion of the project, it will be able to park up to 26 business jets at once. This enhancement is crucial for mitigating the challenges faced by business jet operators with the need for more parking space, especially during peak travel seasons when demand is at its highest.
“This expansion is a critical milestone for Maafaru International Airport. By doubling our aircraft parking capacity, we are not only meeting the growing needs of business jet operators but also positioning Maafaru as a key gateway in the region, capable of delivering exceptional services for our customers and enhancing the operational efficiency.” Stated Mr. Ibrahim Iyas, Managing Director of IASL.
The project is set to be completed within six months, ensuring that Maafaru International Airport is equipped to meet the future demands of the aviation industry. The expanded capacity will enable the airport to offer more efficient and seamless services, reinforcing its status as a preferred destination for high-end travelers and business jet operators alike.
Mr. Abdulla Ziyad, CEO and Managing Director of MTCC, expressed confidence in the project’s success, stating, “Our collaboration with IASL expands the chapter in the development of Maafaru International Airport. We are proud to contribute our expertise to a project that will have a lasting impact on the regions connectivity and economic growth”.
