New airport in Crete: First steps for its construction

Ariadne Airport Group has officially been named contractor for the construction and operation of Crete’s highly-anticipated Kastelli Airport with works expected to begin next year.

A consortium made up of Greek construction firm GEK Terna and India’s GMR Airports Limited (GAL), Ariadne Airport Group takes on the 480-million-euro project for a concession period of 32 years.

The venture involves the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the airport slated for opening in 2022-23. Construction and renovation works are estimated at lasting five years.

The new airport is scheduled to replace the existing Heraklion Airport “Nikos Kazantzakis.”

The key infrastructure project for Crete must first be examined by a court of auditors and then go to parliament for approval, which local media reports say will be by the end of 2018.

Ariadne Airport Group was tentatively named contractor last year.

To be erected in Heraklion, Crete’s capital, Kastelli Airport is expected to handle more than seven million passengers a year replacing the current Nikos Kazantzakis facility.

Once the project moves forward, it is expected to spur works on a number of other key infrastructure projects on the island, including the completion of the so-called north road axis and several peripheral roadway networks.

Prior to Irma the country had 394 weekly flights. By October 2018, the airport projects the number of weekly flights to increase to 310, which represents 78.7 per cent.

Nepal: a letter of intent (LoI) to finalise the construction modality of Nijgadh International Airport.

A meeting held among the top officials of Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA) and Ministry of Finance (MoF) yesterday have jointly decided to seek a letter of intent (LoI) to finalise the construction modality of Nijgadh International Airport.

The LoI notice will call upon interested domestic and international firms to submit construction modalities of the planned second international airport in Nepal.

According to Devkota, Finance Minister Yubaraj Khatiwada, Tourism Minister Rabindra Adhikari, secretary and high-level officials of MoF, Investment Board Nepal, National Planning Commission, CAAN, and Nepal Airlines Corporation had participated in the meeting, in which various aspects of the project were discussed to dispel any confusion related to it.

Earlier, the government had handed over the responsibility to secure the construction site of the airport to Nepali Army.

On May 25, Ministry of Forests and Environment had approved the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report of Nijgadh International Airport, which was then forwarded to the MoCTCA.

According to the EIA report, the government plans to cut down 2.4 million trees to build the much-talked-about international airport.

On May 11, MoF had suggested the MoCTCA to build the Nijgadh International Airport in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
