Construction by 2019 June, first flight in Sept

Thanks to improvements made by the contractor company, the Gautam Buddha

International Airport Construction Project says it will be able to complete the
construction works by 2019 June.
The construction works had begun in 2015 with an objective of completing the
work in two years. The project, however, was delayed due to various problems
including the negligence of contractor company, disputes over compensation
distribution, political protests and shortage of construction materials.
But, by now, around 50 per cent of construction works have been over and it will
be complete within next 11 months, according to the Project Chief Om Sharma.
“Most difficult tasks have been completed one after another,” he says, “Now, all
the tasks for the airport’s upgrading as an international airport will be over by
2019 June.”
