Chief executive officer (CEO) of the International Airport Development Company (IADC) Dr Rudy Mathias made the disclosure on Tuesday.
Mathias said that the apron will be able to accommodate, simultaneously, three Boeing 747 jets, six of the LIAT ATRâs, and two of the 727 Ameri-jet type aircraft in the cargo apron and another 20 or more small jets in the general aviation aprons.
âIt is a massive apron that we are creating.
âWe are building an airport that appeals to the future, so that when we are finished at Argyle, we wonât have to do any substantial changes, maybe within the next twenty years,â he said.
Construction work on the apron commences in late November, with an estimated completion date of May or June next year, Mathias explained.
âIf needs be, we will be working in shift.
âWe are buying some lights, so that if we have to work at nights, then we are going to work at nights, to have it completed on time.â (AA)
