AECOM wins key contract for Qatar airport expansion

The Qatar Company for Airports Operation and Management has chosen AECOM, a New York Stock Exchange-listed global infrastructure consulting firm, to provide program management services for Cargo Terminal 2 and the Amiri Flight Facilities as part of Qatar’s Hamad International Airport Expansion Programme.

AECOM will provide project management and construction management of the new cargo terminal and ancillary supporting facilities, which include a veterinary inspection centre, central utility plant, and infrastructural diversions, as part of Hamad International Airport’s development program.

In addition, a cargo bridging facility will be built to meet anticipated Cargo Terminal 1 overflow.

The cargo bridging facility will be prioritized for operational readiness ahead of the opening of the FIFA World Cup Qatar in November 2022, with AECOM providing the services over a six-year period.

The president of AECOM, Lara Poloni, said: “We are excited to support the execution of Qatar Company for Airports Operation and Management’s infrastructure expansion plans by developing these important facilities at Hamad International Airport.
