British High Commissioner visits Munda International Airport

The development of what will become the country’s second International Airport in Munda, Western Province is making great progress.

That was according to the British High Commissioner to Solomon Islands and Nauru, His Excellency Thomas Coward after he visited Munda International Airport on Monday 17 July 2023.

The UK is supporting the development of Munda airport through its contributions to the World Bank, who is undertaking this development in partnership with the Government of Solomon Islands.

The UK is the third largest donor to the World Bank IDA fund and over quarter of the funding is provided by the three largest donors: the US, Japan, and the UK.

The Munda International Airport will accelerate the international connectivity of the Munda-Noro corridor, supporting tourism and business. This important project is under the Solomon Islands Roads and Aviation Project (SIRAP).

The Munda Airport project is being implemented by CCECC, Kramer Ausenco, NACO and Netherlands Airport Consultants.
