By GlobalDataIn October last year, Foster + Partners was awarded the design contract for the airport. Earlier this year, the schematic design stage NOC was secured from the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
Currently, land levelling works are in progress to prepare the airport for development. Red Sea International Airport is scheduled to open by the end of 2022.
The overall infrastructure of Red Sea Project, including its transport network, will be powered by 100% renewable energy as part of the company’s sustainability goals.
Apart from the airport, the initial phase of the development includes 16 hotels providing 3,000 hotel rooms across five islands and two inland sites. It will also feature commercial, retail and leisure facilities and other infrastructure.
Upon completion, the airport is expected to serve one million tourists per annum catering to both domestic and international flights.
