Contract to build midfield airport complex attracts bids from France, Singapore, Germany and Turkey.
Abu Dhabi Airports Company (Adac) has received four bids for the build-operate-transfer contract for the midfield terminal on the $6.8bn redevelopment of Abu Dhabi International airport.
The four bidders are France's Aeroports de Paris (ADP), Singapore's Changi Airports International, Germany's Hochtief, and Turkey's TAV.
It is expected that TAV will elect to build the terminal itself if it wins the contract, whereas the other three bidders will use third-party contractors.
Three of the bidders have strong links with Abu Dhabi and the airport project. Changi was selected to operate the existing Abu Dhabi International airport facilities for 18 months in December 2006, while ADP is the design consultant for the air traffic control tower that is under construction.
