An increase in traffic movement at Dodoma Airport necessitated the introduction of larger Aircraft of Code 4C while waiting for the construction of the new international airport for the Tanzanian Capital, (Msalato International Airport) project scheduled to be complete by mid-2025. The Government of Tanzania (GoT) has decided to improve existing facilities which can accommodate aircraft Code 4C. Therefore in 2016 there were major rehabilitations carried out that involved the extension and upgrading of the runway length from 2000m to 2750m, repair of existing Apron, Taxiways, and installation of solar powered Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL). Extending the new Apron by 80m X 70m with taxiway connected to it which can accommodate Aircraft of Code 4C.
The Dodoma Airport Manager is also overseeing the proposed site for construction of new Msalato International Airport and monitoring the airport operations in Singida Airstrips which are Singida, Manyoni and Kirondatal.
Dodoma Airport’s fire category is five (CAT 5) the current fire level meets the requirements of CAT 5 and can meet the requirement of CAT 6 only if the number of aircrafts in category 4C normally using aerodrome is less than 700 movements in the busiest consecutive three months.
