Msalato International Airport, Construction site in Msalato, Dodoma Region, Tanzania.
Msalato International Airport is an airport under construction north of Dodoma, featuring a runway designed for large aircraft and a terminal building for international arrivals. The project connects the growing city with major international routes and modern infrastructure for the region.
Tanzania announced plans for this airport in 2017, and the foundation stone was laid in late 2022. The project was part of the country's infrastructure reform plans and the development of the new capital city.
The airport development aligns with Tanzania's governmental transition, moving administrative functions from Dar es Salaam to the capital city of Dodoma.
The construction is in its early phases, so the site is not currently open for public visits. Visitors can follow progress through updates from local authorities or view from a distance.
The USD 329.47 million project combines funding from the African Development Bank, Africa Growing Together Fund, and Tanzanian government contributions.
