At present, the new terminal project of Harare International Airport is nearing completion. The VVIP lounge project will be promoted from July, and the project is progressing well.
With the smooth progress of the expansion project of Harare International Airport, the airport shuttle bus was put into operation on July 7, which means that after the completion of the construction of the new terminal, the installation of passenger facilities and boarding bridge, Harare International Airport is expected to become a regional aviation hub in Southern Africa.?
Speaking on the progress of the Harare International Airport renovation and expansion project undertaken by CJI, Transport Minister Mhona said:“We have made significant progress on the new terminal project, which will be completed early next year. We will be promoting the VVIP lounge project from next month.”
Gusha, president of Zimbabwe Airports Corporation, said new check-in counters, escalators and boarding bridges would be operational in the coming months,“Part of the tile and ceiling has been installed. The lighting system has also been installed. We have purchased baggage check-in and other equipment.”He also pointed out that air ground services are also ready to handle the increased passenger and cargo traffic. Mudyawarimwa, Managing Director of Aviation Ground Services, said:“The new device will focus on current and future business needs. The expanded airport will become a major hub for cargo and passenger traffic.”
The expansion project of Harare International Airport will cost US $0.153 billion million. When completed, the airport's passenger throughput will increase from 2.5 million to 6 million per year. The expansion project includes new terminal building, new VVIP lounge, apron, boarding bridge, renovation of old terminal building, renovation of old runway and ground lighting and communication system. Zimbabwe's central government is also gradually liberalizing the air transport market, hoping to attract more airlines and improve Zimbabwe's connectivity with the world.
