Sierra Leone Telegraph: 17 December 2020:
The Parliament of Sierra Leone yesterday, Wednesday 16th December 2020, debated and ratified the Lungi Freetown International Airport expansion project agreement between the government of Sierra Leone and the Russian owned Summa Airports (SL) Limited.
The aim of the project is to expand Lungi airport to include a new and larger terminal, as well as relaying of the runway to accommodate larger and more airlines, in keeping with international standards.
The government of Sierra Leone is projecting a massive increase in passenger arrivals at Lungi airport to over one million a year, which the current capacity at the airport cannot accommodate.
