Construction of new terminal at Mogadishu's Aden Abdulle International Airport to begin this week.

Turkish construction firms Çetin Group and Kozuva will begin building the new Turkish sponsored air terminal at Mogadishu's Aden Abdulle International Airport, following the signing of a deal in late January. 
The result of negotiations initiated by the Turkish Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance and their Somali counterparts, the new USD10million dollar facility will replace the current terminal and will handle 5'000 passengers per day (1.8million per annum) and 15 aircraft simultaneously (60 movements per day). 

The project will be realized under a Build-Operate-Transfer model backed by Favori LLC, a consortium of Turkish construction firms Çetin Group and Kozuva with USD3million capital, that will provide for the construction and subsequent management (including security) at the future terminal. The contract is set to last for a combined duration of 20 years, but will be reviewed after 10, as Somali law does not permit concessions to be held for periods greater than 10 years.
