The first phase of the expansion work on the taxiway of the Bole International Airport, Ethiopia was completed said the 
Ethiopian Airports Enterprise. The project was completed at a total cost of 1.1 billion birr.
The expansion project was intended to enhance the airport’s capacity to meet air traffic flow said Wondim Teklu, Head of Public Relations and Communications Service with the EAE.
Bole International Airport is able to offer service to 34 aircraft simultaneously following the completion of the first phase of expansion. The airport currently services up to 110 aircraft a day making it one of the busiest airports in East Africa according to sources.
The second phase of the expansion work will allow the airport to serve ten more aircraft said Wondim. An estimated 27% of the second phase of the expansion is already finalized he noted.
It is to be remembered that the Enterprise signed a contract last year with the Chinese Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) Addis Engineering Plc for the expansion work.
