Vic Falls airport work complete

REFURBISHMENT and
construction at the new
Victoria Falls International
Airport are complete,
reports the Civil Aviation
Authority of Zimbabwe.
According to public
relations manager,
Annajulia Hungwe, all
the planned works on the
new airport have been
completed.
Annajulia told TNW
that the project had
entailed construction
of a new international
terminal building with
the necessary passenger
processing facilities;
construction of a
new 4km runway and
associated taxiways; and
construction of a new air
traffic control tower with
associated equipment.
A new fire station,
sewer ponds and water
reservoir have also
been completed. The
old terminal building
was refurbished and
converted into a domestic
terminal, and the car
parks were expanded
to accommodate the
anticipated increased
demand for parking
space.
The airport now has
the capacity to handle
1,5 million passengers
annually.
