Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has officially completed the Airport Jetty Construction Project in Hoarafushi, Haa Alifu Atoll.
MTCC commenced the fieldwork for the project on September 7, 2022. The scope of the project included channel dredging operations of 18,000cbm, 44m quay wall, construction of jetty using precast L blocks, construction of a geobag revetment, reclamation of 51,600cbm jetty area, and installation of navigational lights. The value of the project is USD366,000.
Hoarafushi Airport is the northernmost airport in the Maldives and is the first certified regional airport under the Regional Airport Company Limited (RACL). The development of Hoarafushi Airport was contracted to MTCC in early 2019. As such, a total of 34 hectares of land was reclaimed for the development of the airport and a causeway was built to connect the airport to the island. The construction of an airport jetty began following public concerns over difficulties in reaching Hoarafushi Airport from nearby islands and resorts.
