smooth movement of people and goods in and out of the country. The rehabilitation of the domestic terminal at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in Harare, Zimbabwe is a significant step towards achieving this goal.

The project, which was initiated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ), aims to modernize and upgrade the domestic terminal to meet international standards. The rehabilitation work includes refurbishing the terminal building, improving the check-in and baggage handling facilities, and upgrading the waiting lounges and other passenger amenities.

With the construction and renovation work already underway, passengers who normally use the domestic terminal are being temporarily accommodated in the international terminal. Despite this inconvenience, the airport authorities have put in place measures to ensure that there is minimal disruption to the travel experience of passengers during this period.

The completion of the rehabilitation project is expected by July of this year. Once finished, the domestic terminal will provide a more comfortable and efficient travel experience for passengers, offering modern facilities and amenities that meet international standards. This will not only improve the overall airport experience for travelers but also enhance the country’s image as a regional hub for air travel.

The rehabilitation of the domestic terminal at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport is part of a broader infrastructure development plan aimed at modernizing and expanding the country’s aviation facilities. This includes upgrading runway and taxiway systems, improving air traffic control and navigation equipment, and enhancing airport security measures.

By investing in the development of its airport infrastructure, Zimbabwe is positioning itself as a competitive player in the global aviation industry. The modernization of the domestic terminal at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport will not only benefit passengers but also contribute to the growth and development of the country’s economy by facilitating trade, tourism, and foreign investment.

As the project progresses, the CAAZ is working closely with stakeholders, including airlines and airport service providers, to minimize any disruptions and ensure a seamless transition once the domestic terminal reopens. The successful completion of this rehabilitation project will mark a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to upgrade Zimbabwe’s aviation infrastructure and enhance its position as a key player in the region’s air transportation network.
