GKD takes Maafaru airport contractor to court

GKD Company, subcontractor of Maafaru, Noonu Atoll’s International airport, filed a case at Civil Court, on Sunday, against Tuff Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, the main contractor, for an unpaid amount of over USD 1 million (MVR 15 million).

Singaporean Tuff Company was tasked with developing an international airport on Maafaru during president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s administration, funded by Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD). However, instead of completing the project by themselves, Tuff company subcontracted the project over to various corporations, including GKD and others.
