Hoarafushi council president Mohamed Waheed stated to the "Sun" that the land reclamation project was completed last Friday. 

"We are now carrying out works to level the ground," said Waheed.

A total area of 345,000 meters was reclaimed for the airport project. The project was awarded to MTCC for MVR 198.3 million and was commenced on March 25, 2019. Official work began on April 16.
