That's the new airport they're building in a nature reserve, presumably to service the new development so the billionaire class don't have to transfer.

The reporting on this is confusing. The island is not in the middle of the Med, it's just offshore and in no way deserted. It was popular with locals and tourists before they stopped public access.
