Introduction
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.
1. Executive Summary
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.
2. Project Definition
2.1 Objectives
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

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2.2 Vision
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.
2.3 Scope
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.
2.4 Deliverables
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

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

29PROJECT MANAGEMENT
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
4.8 Completion Criteria
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.
5. Project Consideration
5.1 Risks
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
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.

30PROJECT MANAGEMENT
others.
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.
5.2 Assumptions
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.

31PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 It has been assumed that the airport will be able to handle 65 million
passengers per year with further expansions further increasing the
number.
5.3 Constraints
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.
Approvals
For proceeding with the project, approval will be required from the following.
 Government of UAE
 General Civil Aviation Authority
