YANGON: A Singapore construction company and an affiliate of Changi Airport Group won a US$1.4 billion (RM4.6 billion) order to build a new airport in Yangon as the country repairs its infrastructure after the easing of decades of sanctions. A consortium led by Yongnam Holdings Ltd, which includes Changi Airport Planners and Engineers and Japan’s JGC Corp, will develop the Hanthawaddy International Airport, Myanmar’s civil aviation agency said yesterday. The new airport will be about 80km from here. Bloomberg
