Kuwait’s new airport will be one of the world’s best airports and will have outstanding facilities qualifying it as a pioneer in design, conserving energy and protecting the environment, said the Ministry of Public Works’ (MPW ) Assistant Undersecretary for Construction Projects Ghaleb Al-Shemmari. He added that MPW is keen on using new elements in the project such as modern air-conditioning systems, using natural light, recycling water and reusing it in irrigation as well as using solar power to generate 10 percent of the airport’s electricity.

Shemmari said that being a gigantic project, it needs time for preconstruction measures, which includes setting up temporary offices, topographic surveys and building the project’s perimeter.
