The Kuwaiti Air Force's (KAF's) Ahmed al-Jaber Air Base is to undergo a significant upgrade to accommodate its new Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet multirole aircraft as well as its existing F/A-18C/D Hornets, according to plans for the project.

Released by the US Army Corps of Engineers on 20 July as part of a solicitation for a contractor to carry out part of the work, the architectural drawings show most of the new infrastructure will be built next to the aprons currently used by the KAF's Hornets.

A new apron with shelters for 12 aircraft will be built over an existing one that satellite imagery shows has been used by foreign C-130 transport aircraft in recent years. This will connect with a maintenance hangar that can accommodate eight aircraft and a corrosion control hangar for two. A new squadron operations building, engines shop, and airframes shop will also be built nearby.
