Large cargo space for projected Addis airport


Ethiopian Airlines Group has signed a technical advisory and consultancy contract with Dar Al-Handasah Consultants (Shair and Partners) to embark on the design and supervision of a mega airport city in Bishoftu, at a lower elevation compared to the current primary hub.

 

Located 40 km from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD), this airport city is poised to revolutionise the country's air transport sector. Ultimately, its capacity will serve 110 million passengers a year, quadrupling ADD's capacity.

 

The mega airport city will feature a 1.1 million sqm terminal comprising passenger facilities, 126,190 sqm for airline support, and over 100,000 sqm for cargo handling and airport services. It will also include an associated airfield and other essential airport infrastructure. (ah)
