The Hanimaadhoo International Airport development project is on track for completion by September, with nearly 89% of the work already finished, Construction Minister Abdulla Muththalib said on Tuesday.
“The development of Hanimaadhoo International Airport, financed through the India Exim Bank Line of Credit, remains on track for completion by September 2025,” Muthalib said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “The overall progress stands at 88.7%, with runway construction fully completed. The passenger terminal has reached 83% completion, while the air traffic control tower, hangar, and cargo building are 96% complete.”
In February, a new 42,000-square-metre apron was completed at the airport.
The $136.6 million expansion project also includes a runway that can accommodate A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft, and a terminal with the capacity to handle 1.3 million passengers annually.
