The project is located in Ouesso, Sangha in the northern tropical rain forest region of Congo-Brazzaville. The airport is rectangular, about 4000m long and 800m wide in total. The construction period is 24 months. The construction started in September, 2013.
Earthworks of Antsirabe Airport in Madagascar, invested by the Civil Aviation Authority of Madagascar, was commenced on July 14, 2008 and completed on November 25, 2008, with the construction duration of 5 months.
The airport fast road is a new two-way two-lane tolled fast road connecting the Ivato International Airport and Europe Avenue, with a total length of 18.7km. Proposed by H.E. President Hery to President Xi Jinping during Johannesburg Summit of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in December 2015, it is the first project with concessional loan and buyer’s credit, and a large infrastructure construction project undertaken by Chinese enterprise in Madagascar over the past decade.
The Project was commenced on August 1, 2016, and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2018. The Three-runway System is an important capital construction project that supports the long-term development of the aviation industry and economy in Hong Kong. Existing dual-runway system in Hong Kong International Airport is to be saturated, so it is urgent to expand the airport. After the third runway is put into use, the airport can accommodate 30 million extra passengers on an annual basis, and achieve the annual passenger capacity of about 100 million person-times and freight volume of 9 million tons, satisfying the long-term air traffic demands of Hong Kong. Upon completion, the Project will further accelerate the development of Hong Kong’s economy.
