Govt Plans To Build An Airport In Each Province - Minister Matiza

The government plans to build provincial airports, with the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) having been tasked with overseeing the project.

This was revealed by Transport Minister Joel Biggie Matiza currently touring new road projects across the country following the release of funds by the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara). Speaking during his tour of Tanganda-Ngundu Highway on Thursday, Matiza said:

The government has begun the process of constructing airports in the province as we move to reinforce the open for business mantra as well as the implementation of the devolution process. We need the roads, we need the airports

The potential in the provinces is very high. As a ministry, we are cognizant of this fact and we would want to see that the economy grows through the contribution of upgrading and building new infrastructure.

Currently, the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe is carrying out feasibility studies for the construction of these airports.
