The new facility will cover a total area of 537,300 square meters including a construction area of 292,300 square meter and an apron area of 284,000 square meter. The area will house 18 new buildings to cater to apron engineering, engine test bays, utility tunnel, aviation fuel supply and other outdoor works.
The new facility will have 12 widebody and six narrowbody maintenance bays as well as two separate painting bays to provide flexible parking for multiple aircraft types and different maintenance needs.
