CAM to launch Macao Airport’s terminal south extension project

Macau International Airport Company (CAM) has announced plans to begin works on the passenger terminal building south extension design and build project early next year in China.

CAM is the operator of Macau International Airport. It said that design works have already started for the southern extension of the passenger terminal in preparation for construction of the three-level building next year.

The project will cover 5,700m², comprising an extension of three levels from the existing passenger terminal building to bring the total floor area to 17,100m².

The extension plan will include architectural and structural works, evaluation and maintenance (E&M), with additional departure hall, offices, and three more loading bridges.

“Once operational, the project will boost the passenger terminal building’s capacity to ten million people per annum.”

CAM said that the company will use building information modelling (BIM) for the southern extension of the passenger terminal.

According to CAM, BIM technology is capable of accelerating project completion and solves many engineering problems by turning 2D drawings into 3D models.

Construction of the passenger terminal building north extension project started earlier this year. CAM also used BIM technology for this expansion.

The facility will boost the terminal building floor space to 14,000m², featuring a total of five passenger loading bridges.

In addition, the overall design capacity of the passenger terminal building increased from six million passengers per annum to 7.8 million.

Massport to invest $1B in air- and seaport expansion

The Massachusetts Port Authority is planning to issue more than $1 billion in new debt over the coming years as it embarks on a series of projects designed to accommodate more passenger flights, larger cruise ships, and larger container vessels in Boston.

Speaking this week to a conference of investors who could buy some of the agency’s debt, acting MassPort CEO John Pranckevicius touted some of the projects planned for Logan International Airport, Conley Container Terminal in South Boston, and the Ray Flynn Cruiseport as boons to the local economy and products of the economy’s recent success.

At Logan, a roughly $750 million project will include an expansion of the international terminal and the reconfiguration of other terminals and gates, and a $250 million project seeks to redesign the roadways that service the busiest terminals.

«We have a workforce that has a tendency to do a lot of travel,» Pranckevicius said, also pointing out the state’s low unemployment rate and high income levels. «That economic stimulus generated from the policies here in Massachusetts are driving a lot of the airlines to add more service.»

The expansions come while Logan prepares for some of its largest carriers – JetBlue, Delta, Southwest, and United – to increase the number of their daily flights to or from Boston.

Pranckevicious said Logan is on pace to serve 40.8 million passengers in 2018. In the next seven to 10 years, he said, Logan’s annual passenger count is expected to jump to 50 million.

«We have a robust economy driving strong demand for air travel to and from Boston and from that demand, our airline business partners are seeing strong returns on their investments at Boston,» Dan Gallagher, MassPort’s director of aviation business and finance, said.
