Project Plan For Al Maktoum International Airport Expansion

Project Definition

The Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) is a Dubai based entity that has been given the responsibility to proceed with the construction of the Al Maktoum International Airport in a number of different phases. The first phase will involve construction of the airport terminal and two parallel runways. The airport will be able to handle 65 million passengers per year after the first phase is complete. The government has allotted a budget of $32bn for the project.

This report is based on a detailed project plan for the initial phase of the Al Maktoum International Airport.

The proposed airport is supposed to be constructed and then expanded in a number of phases. The initial plan involves the construction of two parallel runways that will be able to hold large aircrafts like Airbus and also will be able to support the arrival and departure of more than 100 flights per day. This particular project will allow UAE government to operate more international flights and allow the economic growth of the country.

The objectives of the project are listed as follows.

To build a new international airport in Dubai, UAE.
To install ultramodern facilities in the airport
To provide services to around 65 million passengers annually
To provide the passengers with various international flights from a single airport

The main vision behind the project is to provide ultramodern airport facilities to the passengers and also provide non-stop international flights at a continuous basis. Moreover, currently, there is only a single airport in Dubai i.e. the Dubai International Airport and with the increasing number of international flights, the pressure on the airport has increased significantly. Hence, the new airport will reduce the load on the Dubai International Airport and will also allow the airlines companies to add more international non-stop flights to the existing roster. Furthermore, with a capacity of 65 million passengers annually, the new airport will also aid in the economic growth of the country.

The scope of the project mainly includes the construction of Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai South, Dubai. The first expansion phase will include the construction of two parallel runways each 4.5 km long and two satellite concourses of 385,000 square meters. The initial target of the airport is to have sufficient capacity for 65 million passengers annually. In addition, the scope of the project also includes 200 wide body aircraft stands with 100 each for code E and code F aircrafts. Furthermore, the scope also includes the construction of 6 new train tracks connecting the terminals and the concourses.

The main deliverables of the project are as follows.

A complete airport system
An ultramodern airport terminal with modern facilities for passengers
Two parallel runways each 4.5 Km long
Modern aircraft hangars

The customer of the project is the General Civil Aviation Authority, UAE who will operate around 100 international flights (arrival and departure) every day.

Quality is an essential requirement in the project especially when the authority is spending around $32bn. The quality plan criteria include the following.

Sufficient length of both the runways that should also be able to support large aircrafts like Airbus 380
Ultramodern airport design so that it becomes a new landmark and architectural marvel in the country
Ultramodern facilities with sufficient space to hold around 2 lakh passengers per day
Sufficient facilities to hold the arrival and departure of more than 100 flights per day
Well furnished control rooms to communicate with the flights in the air zone

The completion criteria for the initial phase of the project include the two parallel runways and the entire airport facility that will be able to hold 65 million passengers annually. Within the schedule time, the first phase of the project must be completed so that the airport can be opened for flight operations and services.

There are several major risks associated with the project that are listed as follows.

Risk	Risk Type	Risk Analysis	Possible Mitigation Measure
Design	Positive	The design of the airport may be unrealistic in terms of financial feasibility, architectural feasibility, geography of the land and others.	The design of the airport should not be finalized at one go. There should be several changes in the design considering the feasibility tests on the project.
Time	Negative	If an unrealistic schedule is created, there might be several complications including major delay and poor outcomes in the project.	The schedule should be developed with sufficient flexibility and considering buffer time that will be useful if there are unwanted delays during the project.
Cost	Negative	Improper cost scaling and uncontrolled expenditure may result in cost overshoot.	The overall budget should be developed considering market price changes and also suitable expenditure plan should be developed along with the schedule.
Technical	Negative	Lack of sufficient technical work may result in major problems.	Appointment of technically skilled labour and development of realistic architectural design are the keys to mitigate this risk.

Some assumptions made during the project include the following.

It has been assumed that $32bn is sufficient for the completion of the first phase of the project.
It has been assumed that the construction will be complete by 2028 and the airport will be operable soon after completion.
It has been assumed that the airport will be able to handle 65 million passengers per year with further expansions further increasing the number.

There are several constraints of the project that include the following.

The overall budget is a major constraint and a single organization will not be able to bear the total costs.
The geography of land may not permit the construction of such a major scale airport.
Procurement of cheap but skilled labour for the project may not be possible.

For proceeding with the project, approval will be required from the following.

Government of UAE
General Civil Aviation Authority
