Abu Dhabi’s Midfield airport terminal to open by Q4 2019
Abu Dhabi’s Midfield airport terminal to open by Q4 2019
Dubai - Al Maghrib Today
Abu Dhabi’s delayed new airport terminal is 86 percent complete and on course to open by the fourth quarter of 2019, the airport operator’s chairman said on Sunday.
Local media reported in March the opening of the Dh10.8 billion Midfield Terminal at Abu Dhabi International had been pushed back two years to 2019, but did not say by which quarter it would open. The terminal was scheduled to open in July this year.
“We have completed 86 percent of the construction in this project, despite the challenges and difficulties,” Awaidah Murshed Al-Marrar said.
A consortium of Turkey’s TAV Insaat , Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company, and Dubai’s Arabtec are building the terminal.
Etihad Airways is based at the airport and is expected to move to the Midfield Terminal.
The 742,000-square meter terminal building will increase the airport’s capacity to 45 million passengers a year. The airport handled 24.5 million passengers in 2016.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
