The Tonga Aviation Investment Project (TAIP) is funded by the World Bank through the Pacific Aviation Investment Program (PAIP). The PAIP has the development objective to provide safe and secure air transport operations and environmentally sustainable and efficient airports. The previous Fua’amotu International Airport at Tongatapu comprised of a main runway, taxiways and 4000m2 terminal building. Over time, the terminal has been subject of several modest upgrades which have resulted in a space that is inconsistent in passenger flow, décor and finishes. To create a more cohesive modern environment and provide more space for passenger movement and circulation, the interior and overall public signage was to be re-designed and updated to present a fresh invigorating space to welcome visitors to Tonga.
Kramer Ausenco brought its expertise gained on numerous other airport projects, particularly terminal building upgrades, to help deliver this project for the Fua’amotu International Airport Terminal Building Improvements. Similar recent experience was the delivery of the Jacksons Airport International Terminal Upgrade and more recently engineering consultancy services for Stage 1 of the Jacksons International Terming Building Upgrade. Kramer Ausenco was able to use the intimate knowledge and understanding obtained from these consultancies to successfully deliver this project.
