The terminal will be equipped with energy-efficient features while redesigned taxiways and a series of airfield improvements will help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The plan also includes delivering an underground fuel-delivery system that will minimise the need for tankers to supply fuel to aircraft.

This will lower emissions from the airport, as well as enable quicker turnarounds.

Turner and Flatiron are subsidiaries of engineering and infrastructure group Hochtief. The JV has completed several projects together, including work at airports in San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and Denver.

San Diego International Airport is operated by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA).

Earlier this year, SDCRAA contracted Jacobs for the airport expansion plan.
