Work is underway to build a second terminal at Kuwait International Airport. The Foster and Partners-
designed Terminal 2 has seen heavy construction work begin on site. The terminal is being built by Turkey’s
Limak Holdings and was originally scheduled for completion in 6.5 years, although the contractors and
Kuwaiti Government hope to deliver the project within four years.
The new terminal will increase the capacity of the airport and will be constructed in stages. The first phase is
expected to add 13 million passengers a year.
