Angola expands airport project

Angola has revised the scope of its new Cabinda International Airport project to include a larger passenger terminal, expanded aircraft parking areas and additional infrastructure works.

The revised plans were approved by Angola’s President João Lourenço through a contract addendum published in the country’s official gazette.

The larger terminal will separate domestic and international departures alongside improved runway ground conditions and infrastructure upgrades. 

According to Lusa, the project cost will increase by €36.7 million (US$43.1 million).

The Angolan government originally valued construction of the airport at US$250 million with more than €90 million (US$105.8 million) funded by UK Export Finance.
