PROJECT INFORMATION	*Artists impression​ Halted in its construction due to financial difficulties of the prior regime, the resumption in construction of the abandoned, half-built airport in now underway. The New Luanda International Airport being constructed in the northern Bengo municipality of the Luanda province, 40km east of the city centre, will serve as an alternative to the existing Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport. Occupying an area of 1,324ha, the new airport is expected to become the aviation hub of western Africa. It will include operating zones such as passenger terminal and circulation areas, a control tower, cargo facilities, baggage reclaim hall, and other supporting infrastructure. The airport is designed to handle 15 million passengers and more than 50,000t of cargo a year, which should handle the forecasted passenger demand over the next 30 years. A 178,000m² passenger terminal with three airside concourses will be constructed as part of the development. The first floor of the terminal will accommodate domestic and international arrivals, while the second floor will house domestic and international departures. The terminal will be integrated with 12 jet bridges. A cargo terminal will be featured at the airport, as well as a presidential and protocol terminal dedicated to the Imperial Government of Angola and other foreign authorities visiting the country. The protocol terminal will feature a dedicated jet bridge. Two parallel runways will be constructed, pointing in the same direction as the main runway of the Quatro de Fevereiro Airport (Luanda's current operating airport). The northern runway is 4,200 metres in length and the southern runway is 3,800 metres long, with a width of 75 metres and 60 metres respectively. Runways will support mixed independent operations in case of low-hanging clouds and low visibility. The airport will also feature 27 taxiways with a combined length of 28.9km, and 13 aprons with a combined area of 522,281m² to accommodate different classes of aircraft. The new Luanda International Airport will feature an underground car parking facility for more than 1,500 vehicles, and parking areas for general and executive aviation. A 42.3km-long road network will be created to support the airside of the terminal. Additionally, 17 water storage tanks with a total volume of 19.875m³ have been designed to supply water for drinking and fire prevention. Further, a light rail system with a length of more than 3.2km is being proposed to connect the airport with the public transportation network.
