ECK has in principal been appointed by the Kedah state government as an investor and to be involved in the proposed development of Kulim International Airport (KXP), AirportCity and Aerotropolis in Sidam Kiri in Kedah’s Kuala Muda district.
The entire project is to be developed via a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to be formed between KXP AirportCity Holdings (KXPACH) and ECK, subject to the process of due diligence by KXPACH on ECK.
Ivory Properties said one of the conditions imposed for compliance by ECK is the provision of a performance bond by a bank, or alternately, a corporate guarantee by a public-listed company, for an amount not exceeding RM1 billion to KXPACH.
