Project Objectives: The project aims to improve communications between the country, the sub-region and the rest of the world, provide passenger-handling facilities and equip the airport with aeronautical equipment of international, standard.

Project General Description: The Sao Tome international airport improvement project frons part oif the social and econonic recovery efforts initiated by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe. The airport is essential to the economic and social development of the country whose insular character makes it all the more necessary to have reliable and regular air links. The lack of an airport that responds to the needs of the country would certainly discourage foreign investors who are undoubtedly needed by the economy for its revival; the country’s commercial activity and consequently its balance of trade would surely suffer as a result. Implementation of the project will make it possible to handle aircraft and passenger traffic under normal conditions, in conformity with approved safety standards. The new installations will cut down delays in the completion of arrival and departure formalities and the delivery of luggage, thereby resulting in substantial time savings for passengers and in greater comfort. This point is particularly important for international tourism, which demands a minimum level of airport services. This level of service will also enhance transit traffic.

Beneficiaries: The Sao Tome airport improvement project clearly offers direct benefits for the country's economy; these benefits will result from increase in airport revenue following increases in traffic and airport charges justified by improvement in the equipment. The project will improve on the safety of air transport in the sub-region in general by providing better navigation and telecommunications facilities and by making Sao Tone an additional back-up airport for Libreville, Brazzaville and Douala. The development of tourism will also result in the creation of new jobs, both directly (hotels) and indirectly (cottage industries and recreation).
