The major focus for the Julius Nyerere International Airport is to meet the desires of its passengers, airlines, visitors and stakeholders. We are proud that the Julius Nyerere International Airport, in collaboration with its partners is working to make sure that we achieve our goals. The following paragraphs document some of our recent achievements and recognition received in form of a range of awards.
In 2010 we realized an increase of up to 2.5 million passengers. This increase is what prompted the Government to commence the construction of a Third Passenger Building (TB III) with a capacity to serve six million passengers a year. Construction began in 2014 and was completed in May 2019. The third passenger building is one of the best in Africa at present.
The dedicated Julius Nyerere International Airport Terminal III has been open since August 2019 and has increased the annual handling capacity by eighty million passengers. Before the expansion, Terminal II and terminal I had the capacity of handling only 1.5 million and 500 passengers per year respectively.
From the foregoing, the total number of passengers for all terminals is 8 million per annum. Terminal III is designed to ease passenger and visitor flow. It also provides opportunities for further growth of business at the Julius Nyerere International Airport. As part of its commitment to ensure a comfortable and hassle-free travel experience, the upgrading of a number of facilities at Terminal 1 and II have been completed to allow a smoother flow of passengers through the airport. Terminal III has eased passenger congestion, especially during pick hours. Before this terminal was constructed, the environment was conducive for passenger comfort.
The new CIP lounge at Terminal III of the Julius Nyerere International Airport offers convenience, efficiency and luxury in an exclusive environment, in line with the TAA’s commitment to delivering tailor-made services to the highest standards.
Julius Nyerere International Airport has become the hub in the aviation sector in Central and East Africa. We are proud of our achievements as we have been working hard to improve every aspect of the Airport from service quality to customer experience and we are delighted that some of our hard work is being recognized.
In recognition of these efforts, the Julius Nyerere International Airport has been recognized in the following categories of competition:
