Kuwait's public works ministry is reportedly considering to reject all bids to build a new terminal at the country's international airport.
According to Kuwait’s state news agency, KUNA, even the lowest bid was considered too high.
In November, the tender committee for the project said a consortium of Kuwait’s Kharafi National and Turkey’s Limak Holding had submitted the lowest bid for the contract, worth $4.78 billion but a Kuwaiti newspaper reported that the lowest bid was considered almost 40% too high and did not meet the technical specifications.
The new terminal will boost Kuwait airport’s annual handling capacity from eight million to 25m passengers.
