Nacala International Airport Project, Mozambique

The project proposes to transform the Nacala military airbase, located in the northern province of Nampula in Mozambique, into an international airport. This will involve the decommissioning of the base to build passenger and cargo terminals, a control tower, maintenance and firefighter buildings and associated airport operation systems and road access systems. Initially equipped to handle 500,000 passengers per annum, the airport will boast a 3,400 metre long runway and single passenger and cargo terminals. The one-storey passenger terminal will feature 16 check-in desks, 16 immigration desks, four arrival and departure gates and two departure lounges. The project value is estimated at US$144 million.
