Britain's leading Indian origin hotelier and businessman, Surinder Arora, has revealed plans to send-in his proposal to revamp the Heathrow Airport.
The recent revelation adds him to the race of aspiring industrialist who are seeking to lead the airport's redevelopment project.
Surinder Arora's Arora group described their proposal as "a cost efficient solution for expansion of the UK’s only Hub airport, Heathrow."
Working in partnership with US based company, Bechtel, world leaders in airport development who are behind close to 200 airport projects globally, the Arora group plans to propose the delivery of a fully operational runway by 2035, and a new Terminal 6 opened in two phases (T6A in 2036 and T6B in 2040).
In a statement, the group said, "The proposal comprises a new modernised terminal, Terminal 6, located west of the existing Terminal 5, and a signature 2,800 metre runway delivering for airlines, passengers and cargo to deliver the economic growth ambition set out by His Majesty’s Government."
Surinder Arora, Founder and Chairman of the Arora Group, talked about the unique opportunity and said, "The Arora Group has a proven track record of delivering on time and on budget projects including in and around Heathrow Airport."
He added, "We are delighted that the Government has taken a common sense approach to invite proposals from all interested parties for the very first time rather than granting exclusivity to the current airport operator, no matter its track record."
The Arora Group's plans claim to stand on the pillars of cost-effectiveness, sustainability and timeliness.
The CEO of the newly formed Heathrow West Limited, Carlton Brown, said, "I want to see Heathrow help Britain become the best-connected nation in the world and facilitate the trade and inward investment our UK economy needs in order to compete with the rest of the world."
He added, "There is no reason as to why the UK’s only Hub cannot out compete not just its European rivals, but also Dubai, Singapore and others.”
