Muscat. Oman Airports has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kilimanjaro Airports Development Company (KADCO) to develop a VIP passenger terminal at the Kilimanjaro International Airport.

Together with the MOU to develop KIA there were several other deals in the energy sector which was signed during President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s state visit to the gulf state.

The MoU stipulates that Oman Airports will undertake the development of the General Terminal for VIPs and hangar facility at Kilimanjaro International Airport, development of a five-star hotel for passengers and a business complex/shopping mall in the airport.

The MoU has scope for development of other facilities that may be agreed upon mutually between the parties.

‘This partnership will serve in developing the facilities referred to in the text of the MoU to ensure the provision of high-standard services as part of efforts to raise revenues for both the Tanzanian government that owns the airport and Oman Airports,’ a press release said
