Al Hajri said that a preliminary study is being executed and by the end of 2013 the authority will announce and ink the expansion plan contract.
The chairman attributed the increase in passenger traffic mainly to the fast expansion of Air Arabia, the first largest source of passenger traffic at the airport.
