The Civil Aviation Ministry is currently expecting to receive financial and technical offers in a tender it launched for the development of a new terminal at Alexandria’s Borg El Arab International Airport, Minister Sherif Fathy said yesterday, according to Al Shorouk. The new terminal, which will take around four years to build, is being funded by a USD 150 mn loanfrom the Japanese International Cooperation Agency and should allow the airport to take in an additional 4 mn passengers, bringing its total capacity up to 5.6 mn passengers per year. Construction work on the terminal began last year.
