Jazeera Airways wins approval for new terminal at Kuwait airport

Jazeera Airways has been granted approval by the emirate’s govt for the necessary land on which to build a dedicated terminal at Kuwait International. The main airport is operating beyond its design capacity and Jazeera hopes that having its own terminal, together with a soon-to-be-opened business lounge and remote check-in, will draw more passengers seeking a more pleasant passage through the airport. The approval for a parcel of land beside the existing terminal has now been granted by the country’s Council of Ministers. The airline’s investment in the new building is put at KD14m (US$46m). This represents an increase in the previously announced figure of “around KD10m” given when the project was announced in May 2015. Construction time for the new terminal is 15 months. <br/>
