Sumbawanga Airport is an airport in western Tanzania serving the town of Sumbawanga in Rukwa Region.[2] The government has sought funds from the European Investment Bank for the upgrade of the airport.[3]
Stella Manyanga, the Rukwa Regional Commissioner has instead urged the government to construct a new airport at Kisumba village as the present facility does not have enough land for future expansion.[4] In April 2013, the Tanzania Airports Authority allocated funds for the evaluation of the area for the proposed future airport.[5]
