(MENAFN) UK-based engineering group behind Dubai International Airport Costain unveiled plans to extend its business further in the Middle East, Arabian Business reported.

As a first step in its plan, Costain appointed Tim Bowen as regional development director with responsibility for the further development of Costain’s consultancy and operations and maintenance services in the Middle East.
