The new airport, which covers an area of 76.5 million squares meters, costs 12 billion U.S. dollars, the minister said.


"The project has altered the entire land which was covered by marsh due to the presence of coal mines, providing job opportunities for at least 100,000 people," he said, noting the figure will go up to 225,000 after the construction is finished.
