Presentation to the ICPAU 5th Economic Forum

by the Director Finance, Civil Aviation Authority, Uganda

20 July 2017

Overview• Uganda has embarked on an airport development program covering

the whole country.

• The broad plan is in the 20 year Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP) that was launched on 29th January 2015.

• For Entebbe International Airport (EIA), there is a Capital Improvement Program consisting of two major projects.

• The Landside Expansion project which involves Improvement of Departures, VIP, Staff Car park and Walkways

• The Upgrade and Expansion of EIA, funded by China EXIM bank.

• Development of upcountry Aerodromes

• Development of Kabaale International Airport

Background• Africa has experienced air traffic growth in terms of

passengers, cargo and aircraft movements.

• The world`s leading airlines are also increasingly accessing Africa`s air transport market and several of them have acquired new large aircraft like Airbus 380 which have necessitated upgrade of airport infrastructure.

• There is increased competition amongst airports for the growing air traffic market in Africa as manifested by the various expansion projects in the region .

• Government has launched a new drive to develop tourism

Uganda Aviation Growth Trends• Passenger traffic for Entebbe International Airport grew from

446,748 in 2004 to 1.3 million in 2013, representing an average annual growth rate of 12.6% for 9 years.

• The annual projected growth is as follows:

• Passenger traffic from 1.4 million in 2014 to 6.1M in 2033;

• Cargo traffic from 55,000 in 2033

• Aircraft movements from 43,669 in 2014 to 111,200 in 2033

• The growth above require commensurate capacity enhancements in passenger and cargo terminals as well as aircraft movement areas

Uganda Aviation Growth TrendsPassenger traffic for Entebbe International Airport grew from 446,748 in 2004 to 1.3 million in 2013, representing an average annual growth rate of 12.6% for 9 years.

The annual projected growth is as follows:-

Passenger traffic from 1.4 million in 2014 to 6.1M in 2033;

Cargo traffic from 55,000 tonnes in 2014 to 172,000 tonnes

Aircraft movements from 43,669 in 2014 to 111,200 in 2033

The growth above require commensurate capacity enhancements in passenger and cargo terminals as well as aircraft movement

The need for Infrastructure

• The proposed upgrade and expansion effort is driven by:

• the need to reverse facility degradation due to time related effects / wear-and-tear. This is especially the case for pavements;

• the need to cater for capacity demand due to high growth rates of passengers, cargo and aircraft movements. This is especially the case for the cargo centre, passenger terminal ;

• the need to keep up to date with the new generation of large aircraft such as the A380 and modern / statenavigation and surveillance) technologies;

• the need to gain competitive advantage in the region and beyond, especially at a time when all countries in the region are undertaking expansion projects.

Entebbe Capacity requirements Cont’d• Cargo

• the existing cargo buildings are below capacity as they fail to cope with the current annual throughput of 55,000 metric tons.

• The annual cargo throughput projected for 2033 is 172,000 metric tons.

• The projected throughput for 2023 is 100,000 metric tonnes

• Aircraft Movement Areas

• The last major upgrade for pavements was done in 1996 and the facilities’ service lives have approached the end of the design life (20 years).
