The Minister of Public Works & Transport introduced on Twitter yesterday plans to construct a brand new terminal on the Beirut-Rafic Hariri Worldwide Airport with a international funding of $122 million, noting that no growth plans have been undertaken on the present airport since 1998.
Nonetheless, Lebanon’s imminent want is for a brand new airport distant from Beirut, not for a brand new terminal. No new terminal goes to repair the issues surrounding the prevailing airport, from random shootings at airplanes, piles of rubbish attracting flocks of birds, the insecurity in surrounding areas in addition to many different elements. On prime of all that, it’s unclear how the bid was carried out and received and what’s the nature of this funding in tons of of thousands and thousands.
The venture is anticipated to be accomplished totally in a interval of 4 years and is geared toward welcoming low-cost carriers, seasonal and constitution flights and vacationers. It’ll create 500 jobs and may welcome as much as 3.5 million passengers per 12 months. On the finish of the promotional video shared by the minister, it claims the terminal will probably be a “new aspiration for world vacationers”. I’m wondering who these world vacationers will probably be.
