“The Bugesera International Airport will initially have the capacity to manage 1.8 million passengers every year.”

As part of the ESIA, a team of Ramboll Environ experts from the UK, South Africa, France, and Denmark, conducted environmental and social baseline surveys and assessments to prepare the report.

In addition, the consultancy will prepare a stakeholder engagement plan, environmental and social management plans, and a resettlement action plan.

Ramboll Environ recently completed ESIA of the six-runway Istanbul New Airport, phase one of which is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The airport will be fully operational by 2028.
