Ethiopian Airlines on Saturday officially started a 12.5 billion construction project for what officials say will be Africas biggest airport when completed in 2030 in the Ethiopian town of Bishoftu.
The state-owned airline got the contract to design the four-runway airport in the town located around 45 km 28 miles southeast of Addis Ababa.
Bishoftu International Airport will be the largest aviation infrastructure project in Africas history, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali said on X.
