French Owned Engineering Company,
Aeroports de Paris Ingenerie (ADPI), will manage the design and
construction of a second terminal at Zanzibar International Airport.
After adapting design plans, carrying
out further engineering studies and settling negotiations with Chinese
building company BCEG, APDI will manage the resumption of work on a new
25,000sq metre terminal that will allow an additional 3 million
passengers a year to come through the airport.
Construction of the second terminal,
to be known as Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, was stopped in
2012 due to a failure to comply with international aviation standards.
Eager to resume the project due to the
strategic benefits that it provides for tourism in the region, the
Zanzibar Airport Authority (ZAA) and Ministry of Infrastructure and
Communication (MoIC) have selected ADPI to take on the role of Project
Manager until the terminal is completed.
Guillaume Sauve, ADPI CEO, emphasized
that the expertise and experience of the French engineering company
would ensure that value would be delivered for clients.
In 2012 Zanzibar welcomed 168,223 arrivals from overseas.
