The progress made by the Kuwait International Airport T2 project has been hailed by Lord Norman Robert Foster, Baron Foster of Thames Bank, and Lady Foster, representing the acclaimed architecture firm Foster + Partners.

The team recently visited the project site, where  construction work is being carried out by Limak İnşaat.

During the visit, the Fosters witnessed first-hand the transformation of Foster + Partner’s cutting-edge architectural design into a physical reality by Limak. The project marks a significant milestone in global airport design and is one of Foster + Partners’ three major projects in Kuwait.
