Kajunguti International Airport (Swahili: Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Kajunguti) is a proposed international airport project in Kagera Region, Tanzania intended to serve the African Great Lakes region.
[1] Initial plans for the airport were first mentioned in the 2010 election manifesto of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi, Tanzania's ruling party as the present Bukoba Airport cannot accommodate larger aircraft.
[2] The airport will be located at Kajunguti Village in Misenyi District.
It will occupy an area of at least 15,000 hectares and its design is inspired by Japan's Kansai International Airport.
The Tanzania Airports Authority will compensate villagers affected by this project to the tune of TSh 12 billion (US$7 million).
