The national government has approved plans to build a new airport in the southern region. This project is expected to boost tourism and economic development in the area. According to officials, the airport will be constructed near the coastal zone, making it more accessible for international visitors and businesses.
The project is also seen as a strategic move to reduce congestion at the capital’s main airport. By offering another point of entry into the country, authorities hope to distribute air traffic more evenly and improve overall travel efficiency.
Construction is expected to begin later this year and may take up to four years to complete. The airport will include a modern terminal, extended runways to accommodate large aircraft, and updated security facilities. The government has committed to following environmental and safety regulations during construction.
Local residents have shown mixed reactions. While many welcome the job opportunities and tourism boost, others worry about environmental impact and noise levels. The government has promised to hold further public consultations and take community feedback into account moving forward.
Experts consider this investment a major step toward transforming the region into a key travel and business hub in the future.
