Beijing to tender for consultancy role

5-Dec-2002

Beijing Capital International Airport is to tender for consultants to design the commercial part of its new terminal building in January

Scheduled for completion in 2007, this second international facility will be part of a Rmb12bn ($1.45bn) expansion. It will handle the expected surge in passengers from 27m a year currently to 55m in 2008, when Beijing will host the Olympic Games.

An airport spokesman explained: "We're looking for international consultants, who must be very experienced in running airports. The winning bidder must price its services very reasonably."

French airport authority Aéroports de Paris already has a 9.9% stake in the airport and advises on many commercial matters.
