Construction of the new Air Traffic Control Tower at Munda International Airport is makifn steady progress, marking another significant milestone in the ongoing development of Solomon Islands’ second international airport.
When Island Sun visited the construction site last week, workers were actively carrying out building works as the structure continued to take shape.
The project is expected to strengthen aviation services at Munda by providing modern air traffic control facilities to support safe and efficient management of aircraft movements.
Once completed, the new control tower will play a key role to improve airport operations, enhance safety standards, and support the increasing number of domestic and international flights using Munda Airport.
The development is also expected to boost the airport’s capacity as Western Province continues to position itself as an important gateway for tourism, business, and economic growth in the country.
Construction is ongoing, with the project forming part of broader efforts to modernise aviation infrastructure and improve air transport services in Solomon Islands.
