Mwanza International Airport is a major regional airport in northern Tanzania serving the city of Mwanza. It is located near the southern shores of Lake Victoria approximately from the city. It serves as the main hub for Auric Air and a secondary hub for Precision Air.
A passenger lounge is under construction and will have a capacity of 1 million passengers annually. It was envisaged to be operational by September 2014.[2] Construction stalled after the Tanzanian government failed to make payments to the Chinese contractor, Beijing Construction Engineering Group and in December 2014 construction was due to be completed by October 2015 assuming that funds would be available.[3]
The Tanzanian Army's air force command operates an airbase at the south eastern side and has a direct access to runway 30.
