A consortium of Arabtec Holding that includes Greek and Turkish firms won a US$ 2.9 billion contract from Abu Dhabi to build a mid-field terminal at the emirate’s airport. The contract was signed with the group that includes Turkey’s TAV Insaat, Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Co and Dubai’s Arabtec. Construction of the complex will begin in the third quarter of 2012 and is expected to be concluded in 2017.
