Phase one involved the construction of the main terminal building to accommodate 3.5 million passengers annually, and the development of parking lots, access roads, platforms, and a taxiway.
The second phase will expand the 60,000m² terminal’s capacity to six million passengers.
In 2010, BAM International completed phase 2 of the renovation of the airport’s infrastructure, including upgrade of all taxiways and the air ground lighting. The main runway and the terminal 2 apron were rehabilitated under phase one in 2006.
BAM is also the contractor for the rehabilitation and extension of the country’s second largest airport Kilimanjaro International Airport.
The work is scheduled to be completed in 2017.
