La storia infinita di Midfield, che avrebbe dovuto essere inaugurato nel luglio 2017 ma che invece è ancora in fase di completamento, non conosce pace.

È infatti giunta fresca fresca la notizia dell’ improvvisa cancellazione del contratto con il consorzio di imprese impegnato nei lavori per l’ennesimo sforamento del budget.

Abu Dhabi cancels $3 bln airport terminal contract, sources say

Abu Dhabi's state-owned airport operator has cancelled a contract with a consortium which was building a 10.8 billion dirham ($2.94 billion) terminal at the emirate's main airport, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Difficile dire come andrà a finire questa storia, se ci aggiungiamo il drastico ridimensionamento di EY degli ultimi anni rispetto alle ambizioni del periodo della grandeur, e l’invasione delle low cost dal corto braccino.

BER in confronto sembrerà un progetto di successo.

dall'articolo:

Two sources said Abu Dhabi-headquartered Trojan had been awarded the contract to finish the terminal's construction.

quindi puo' essere che abbiano mandato a quel paese i contractors attuali e abbiano preso qualcun altro invece di gettare la spugna.
 
Report: Abu Dhabi airport’s new MTB opening likely in 2023


Abu Dhabi is planning the highly-awaited MTB opening this year, according to new reports

The UAE’s Abu Dhabi Midfield Terminal Building’s (MTB) opening is reportedly scheduled to take place around December 2023.

Citing the Momberger Airport Information, Airports Council International World (ACI World) reported the MTB’s opening will likely take place on 2 December, the UAE’s National Day.

Upon completion, Abu Dhabi MTB is expected to accommodate up to 11,000 passengers per hour or about 45 million passengers annually.

Abu Dhabi’s terminals 1 and 2 are expected to be shut down permanently, while T3, the latest addition, “will likely be mothballed”, ACI World reported.

Its report added: “Depending on traffic development, at one point it could be used again during peak times as a remote boarding lounge. It could also be developed into a standalone terminal including landside, for example, for budget carriers.

“There is a road tunnel leading from [MTB] to the present terminal, which would facilitate easy connections for passengers. The midfield terminal can also be expanded with a satellite boarding concourse.”

Project stakeholders have yet to formally comment on ACI World’s reportregarding the MTB opening timeline.

MTB opening: key announcements timeline
In November 2019, chief programs officer of Abu Dhabi Airports, Sulaiman Al Siksek, said construction work on the MTB was more than 97 percent complete.
Spanning 742,000 square metres (sqm), of which 28,000 sqm will be allocated as retail and food and beverage space and 30,000 sqm as lounges, the MTB systemis expected to feature 145 elevators, 46 travelators, and 106 passenger bridges.

In December 2017, Abu Dhabi Airports announced the completion of tunnel linking for the MTB with terminals 1 and 3 of Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The authority commissioned the Midfield Airside Road Tunnel (MART) to link the MTB with the southside terminals of the airport.
The MART tunnel is approximately 1,165 metres (m) long with average overall width of 35m, and will provide airside connectivity between the existing terminals and the MTB.
The link will permit transit of passenger busses, transfer baggage, crew busses, catering trucks, ground services equipment, cargo vehicles and emergency service vehicles.

MTB opening: project background

MTB is planned to become one of the region’s largest facilities of its kind. Its designs envision handling capacity for tens of millions of annual
passengers and a baggage handling system that can process almost half a million bags a day, according to a Wam report from July 2019.

MTB opening plans were viewed as a key element of the Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC) in Abu Dhabi. According to a Construction Week visit to the project’s site in November 2013, MTC plans included cargo and catering facilities, utilities and related infrastructure.
Construction on the MTB project started in September 2012.
In May 2012, Abu Dhabi Airports Company confirmed a joint venture consortium of the local Arabtec, Turkey’s TAV Construction and Greece’s Consolidated Contractors Co as contractor for the MTB project.
China State Construction Engineering Corporation’s Middle East office was also involved with the MTB project. The contractor was awarded the $163 million contract for the construction of steelworks for the MTB.

MTB is planned to become the first airport terminal in the region to benefit from ultra-high speed connectivity, delivered by the Etisalat’s 5G network, it was confirmed in June 2019.
The deployment will be based on C-Band, a first-of-its-kind in 5G digital indoor technology delivering gigabit per second download speeds.
In July 2019, Abu Dhabi Airports conducted an intermediate full operational trial of the MTC as part of the continuing development of the terminal complex and its operational readiness and airport transfer (ORAT) process.
The trials, which were designed to thoroughly test the new building’s capacity and facilities, involved more than 800 volunteers, and two Etihad Aviation Group aircraft, taking part in simulating the operation of the terminal.

Meglio tardi che mai.

Peccato che rispetto ai roboanti piani di quando EY aveva 120 aerei in flotta (and counting), ora il mercato sia radicalmente cambiato sia in termini di operatori (con AUH che ha aperto - in modo non sempre intelligente IMHO - alle low cost) che di numeri complessivi (con una EY ridotta a poco più della metà di quello che era ai tempi d'oro del 2015-2016).

Le costosissime lounge strafighe (landside e airside) ora sono meno richieste e uno dei problemi che affliggevano Midfield in tempi recenti era proprio come far tornare i numeri visto che la domanda di spazi e servizi era molto ma molto diversa dai piani iniziali.

Vero è che ne hanno già buttati tanti di miliardi in questo progetto...
Comunque sarà un terminal bellissimo da vedere e da frequentare, ma sarà costato una follia ed avrà opex folli.
 
In questo caso il detto è quanto mai appropriato, questo terminal sarà la classica cattedrale nel deserto ;)
