Preliminary Studies for the Construction of a Civil Airport in Al-Dakahlia

Project Description

ECG has undertaken a package of preliminary studies for a project aiming at the construction of a civil airport for passenger and cargo aircrafts near an existing air base in Shawa Village of Al-Dakahlia, Egypt. Studies have covered all elements likely to affect the establishment of a civil airport in the area. In the same context, an urban development study of site surroundings has also been conducted, along with a study of the buildings required for the prospective civil airport (including terminal, cargo, service, and ancillary buildings). Overall, the project has comprised the following studies:

When complete, this airport would be an important development in the entire Northern and Central Nile Delta. It would serve thousands of travelers in Al-Dakahlia and neighboring governorates and facilitate domestic flights nationwide, thus contributing to a more rapid economic growth owing to the potential boost in commercial and tourist activities.
