Israel to develop a new international PPP airport
The Government of Israel, through the inter-ministerial committee involving the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Defense, is interested in promoting and executing of an additional international airport in Israel.
In order to move forward with this plan, the government has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for consulting and management services for the airport.
The target audience for this RFI is consultants, advisors (including economists and financial advisors specializing in aviation), providers of project management services, supervision, control and verification services, aviation specialists and other consultancy service providers, which have relevant experience and expertise.
A private partner will be responsible for the design, financing, construction and operation and maintenance of the airport.
The Airport will be located at the Ramat David area, which is in the north of Israel. The airport will serve as a joint civil and military airport; and international passenger traffic is expected to reach 3.5 million international passengers during the Airport's first year of full operation (current preliminary estimation is between 2025 and 2030) and to have an average growth rate of 5% during the next 15 years, with a higher growth rate in the first five years of operation.
The airport will be suitable for short to mid-range flights (i.e. between 5 to 6 hours) and will be suited to accommodate narrow-body planes
The RFI is available here. Responses to the RFI may be submitted no later than May 23, 2017.
