Ravinala Airports has started construction works for a new concession at Ivato International Airport and renovation at Fascene Airport in Madagascar.

UK-based design and engineering consultancy services firm Mott MacDonald is serving as the lenders’ technical advisor on the scheme.

The public-private partnership concession comprises a new 17,500m² international terminal at Ivato International Airport in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It will be capable of handling 1.5 million travellers per year.

Additionally, the airport’s existing terminal will be modernised to handle growing domestic traffic. To support the increased movement of aircrafts, the runway will be strengthened and resurfaced.

“Fascene Airport in Nosy Bé will have its runway and existing terminal building revamped to support increasing passenger numbers.”

At present, Mott MacDonald is monitoring construction at the airports.

Mott MacDonald project director Adria Canals-Macia said: “This concession is a major opportunity for the Malagasy government to foster economic growth in the country, particularly by supporting a growing tourism industry.”

Construction works at Ivato Airport and Fascene Airport are scheduled to be finished in early 2020 and form part of a 28-year concession period.
