Changi Airports International starts consultancy for Brunei Airport upgrading

Changi Airports International (CAI), the international arm of Changi Airport Group, has commenced its consultancy work with the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) for the upgrading and development of Brunei International Airport.

CAI was appointed as the owner-advisor to the BEDB, which is the government agency responsible for the upgrading and development of Brunei International Airport. The project would be implemented on a Design & Build basis by a separately appointed contractor. The value of the upgrading and development project is around B$130 million, according to a CAI report.

The scope of consultancy entails assisting the BEDB to develop and prioritise the range of refurbishment needed to modernise the airport terminal and preparing tender documents for the Design & Build contract. CAI will undertake project management services during the construction stage. The construction project is expected to be completed within 36 months from the date of commencement.

Mr Wong Woon Liong, Chief Executive Officer, CAI, says, “We are pleased to be able to participate in the upgrading and development of the international airport of a close neighbouring country. We look forward to an enduring relationship with Brunei International Airport in the years to come.”

In undertaking this consultancy, CAI has formed a consortium with AECOM Asia Co Ltd, a subsidiary of AECOM, a leading engineering consultancy company with airport-related experience.
