• improving security and passport control processes to modern international standards; and
• constructing a new roof terrace to increase the capacity of the lounge area.

The project is estimated at R450-million.
The project is partly funded by the Dutch Grant Facility for Infrastructure Development and by a commercial loan to the Tanzania Ministry of Finance.
Duration
Work was due to start in July and is expected to be completed by early 2017.
