Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The works at Mbanza Kongo Airport, Zaire province, with 32% completion, could be completed in 2025, announced the Minister of Transport, Ricardo de Abreu, this Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The minister was speaking on the sidelines of the 2nd Ordinary Session of the National Multisectoral Commission for the Safeguarding of World Cultural Heritage, chaired by the Vice-President of the Republic, Esperanc\u0327a da Costa.<\/p>\n

Mbanza Kongo airport, which will have domestic and international connections, is being built since 2022 on an area of \u200b\u200b12,100 square meters and a control tower height of 35.64.<\/p>\n

The government official stressed that the airport is essential to guarantee compliance with UNESCO obligations as cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis way it will attract tourists to the city of Mbanza Congo and it lacks an infrastructure with the capacity to receive 250 thousand passengers per year\u201d, he highlighted.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that it was necessary to boost an entire complementary infrastructure to have a city with a tourist attraction for the country in the cultural sector.<\/p>\n

He added the creation of a master plan with the provincial government to guarantee the protection of infrastructure in order to avoid vandalism.<\/p>\n

The construction project for the new Mbanza Kongo airport, named “Nimi a Lukeni”, with international category, is budgeted at more than 89 thousand and 914 million kwanzas.<\/p>\n

The new airport is being built in the town of Nkiende II, approximately 34 kilometers from the city of Mbanza Kongo, and will have a runway 3,500 meters long, 45 meters wide, 7.5 meter shoulders on each side and is designed for take-off and landing operations for Boeing 777-300ER type aircraft.<\/p>\n

An administrative building, an operations building, a fire-fighting station, a cargo terminal and auxiliary facilities are part of the project, which has so far generated 168 jobs, 33 of which are Chinese.<\/p>\n
