In a landmark development for Caribbean aviation, Kelly Construction, in partnership with AECON, has been awarded the prestigious Anguilla Airport Redevelopment Program Package 3 by the Government of Anguilla. This exciting project commenced on April 15th, 2024, and marks a significant milestone in the island’s infrastructure and tourism development.
The centerpiece of this ambitious undertaking is the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Air Terminal Building. Spanning an impressive 4,650 square meters (approximately 50,000 square feet), this modern facility is designed to revolutionize the travel experience for visitors to Anguilla. The terminal will boast enhanced passenger amenities and streamlined operations, capable of accommodating up to 215 passengers during peak hours. This substantial upgrade from the current facilities underscores Anguilla’s commitment to meeting the growing demands of international tourism and improving its global connectivity.
Beyond the terminal building, the project encompasses comprehensive improvements to both airside and landside infrastructure. Airside enhancements will include the construction of new aprons, implementation of advanced drainage systems, and installation of cutting-edge lighting technology. These upgrades are crucial for improving operational efficiency and ensuring the highest standards of safety for aircraft and passengers alike.
On the landside, visitors can look forward to a more seamless arrival and departure experience with new parking facilities, improved roadways, and modernized utilities. These enhancements are designed to create a more welcoming first impression for travelers and streamline ground transportation logistics.
