Ancillary infrastructure developments in the cards from Kabuk’s ‘Hamid Karzai International Airport

Momberger

The Afghanistan Civil Aviation Authority (ACAA) is responsible for the operation and management of Kabuk’s ‘Hamid Karzai International Airport’. The airport handles an average of 2 million passengers per annum, which has been increasing steadily over the years. Given the widespread development of infrastructure and economy in Afghanistan, the Authority is actively pursuing development of ancillary infrastructure facilities at the airport to provide world-class infrastructure service delivery and experience to all its stakeholders, especially, the passengers. Development of an international passenger terminal at Kabul Airport through the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT) mode under the PPP framework is one of the several projects that the Authority wishes to implement. The Authority has earmarked an area of 55,700 m² within its security perimeter for development of the project. The project site is in good condition and ACAA is in the process of making the land ready for development. The estimated project cost is USD 268 million. The scope of the private sector would include design, financing and construction of the terminal, operate and manage it for a period of about thirty years and at the end of which, transferring the terminal back to the Authority. The Authority invites ‘Global Expressions of Interest’ (EoI) from eligible private-sector investors/ developers/ operators, individually or as part of a consortium, having experience in financing, construction, operation and management of projects of similar nature. Interested parties should submit/send their EoI for the proposed project, as per the formats set out in the EoI document in sealed cover to Mr Amanzeb Ansari, Chief of Staff, Afghanistan Civil Aviation Authority, Kabul international Airport, Ansari Wat, Kabul, Afghanistan. #1131.24
