Construction of Msalato International Airport in Tanzania to start soon​

ByEditorial Staff

June 1, 2021



THE construction works of the proposed Msalato International Airport (MSIA) in Tanzania are expected to start after this financial year, according to the Tanzania Airports Authority.

This will probably come following the approval of the 2021/22 budget that was recently presented to parliament by the Ministry of Works and Transport. In the more than $ 1.6bn budget, the Ministry has allocated close to $14 million to facilitate the construction of the next-generation international airport in Dodoma. The airport project also benefits from the $2bn budget approved by parliament in the financial year 2020/21.


The African Development Bank will support the implementation of the project through a $272.12 million loan. $198.6 million of the loan will come from the African Development Bank, $23.52 million from the African Development Fund (ADF), and $50 million in co-financing with the Africa Growing Together Fund (AGTF).

An overview of the project​

The proposed airport is to be built along the Dodoma-Arusha highway, about 12 km from the Dodoma Central Business District (CBD) on a 45-square kilometre piece of land.

The project will entail the construction of a runway, main passenger aircraft parking apron, aircraft control tower, passengers terminal and office buildings, car parking lots, shops, supermarkets, banking facilities, and other ancillary facilities such as fuel depots, airport catering, general aviation facilities and electrical and mechanical services including transformer and generator rooms, mechanical ventilation plant, refuse disposal units, pump rooms, etc.

It will be carried out in two phases over a period of four years.

A strategic project derived from Tanzania’s Development Vision (TDV) 2025​

The construction of the MSIA is a strategic project derived from the current Tanzanian Five Years Development Plan (2016/2017-2020/2021) under Tanzania’s Development Vision (TDV) 2025.

Upon completion, the project will support the government’s current priority to relocate administrative functions from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, and in so doing, meet the anticipated increase in connectivity and access needs in the medium-to-long term.

THURSDAY JUNE 03 2021​

Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) has launched theelectronic (e)-permit service which will now issue permits for foreign registered chartered aircraft within two hours instead of the previous 48.

The service targets registered chartered aircraft that fly within Tanzania’s controlled airspace (overfly) or land in the country’s airports.

TCAA director general Hamza Johari told a press conference that the development has been introduced following the long and tedious manual process.

He said before, an applicant had to attach associated documents and send them to the regulator via email and or present them in person for manual processing.

“The automation process is aimed at improving service delivery and cutting costs on the operators as compared to the old system of manual application and physical handing of applications,” Mr Johari told reporters.

He added that the new system will enable the regulator to monitor aircraft movement and improve revenue collection as it now allows tracking of each cent paid by the applicant.

According to TCAA economic regulation director Daniel Malanga, if all documents are duly completed it can take up to two hours for one to collect his permit.

“Before e-permit, it took up to two days for the applicant to get the permit after filing an application and up to two weeks if some documents are missing,” noted Mr Malanga.

For security reasons, in the application, the applicant needs to indicate the purpose of the permit on whether it is for overflying or landing in the country.

Other requirements include the type of aircraft and registration, as well as the entry and exit point for those whose permits meant for overflying.
