The government played an important role in the success of this project, and it was emphasised that the decisiveness and leadership of relevant government officials have contributed in effective management of the project challenges. The Project Company felt that it is enabled to enjoy the freedom to operate the airport in the way it considered most appropriate in order to manage its risk and to introduce its culture of efficiency and transparency to the airport, whilst the Procuring Authority's decision-making system was perceived as an enabler.

One example of support from the government was that the civil defence fire code was updated in order to accommodate the project's design. The designers introduced innovative fire suppression systems, which at the time were not covered by the fire code. When the adequacy of the system was proven, with reference to its use in other modern state-of-the art airports, the code was updated to allow the use of such systems.
