Work Detail The projected Bugesera international airport is currently proceeding with construction, and it could be finished by 2026, according to optimistic estimates. Rwanda presented the structural model of the airport, which is expected to be situated approximately 40 kilometers from Kigali, in September 2022 during the Aviation Africa Summit. According to the airport’s developers, with an estimated $2 billion in investment, the facility could aid in the development of Africa’s aviation industry. Developers claim that the new facility will feature a main terminal building measuring 130,000 square meters that can accommodate eight million passengers annually. In the decades to come, the number is expected to rise to around 14 million passengers. Aviation Travel and Logistics (ATL) are supervising the project’s construction work. The opening of the new airport will contribute to addressing the challenge of a disjointed network of flight paths that frequently forces passengers to fly between African countries through Europe or the Middle East. In this regard, the continent’s untapped potential in the aviation industry is being held back by a lack of connections. According to a 2018 report from the African Union’s Single African Air Transport Market effort, Africa only makes up less than 4 percent of the world’s air travel market, despite having 1.4 billion people, or 16.75 percent of the world’s population. Project Overview The Bugesera International Airport (BIA) project involves the construction of a new airport in Rilima and/or Juru localities of the Bugesera District in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, approximately 23 km to the southeast of Kigali City.
