History
In October 2005, "Dar es Salaam International Airport" (DIA) was renamed "Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere International Airport" and on 1 November 2006, "Julius Nyerere International Airport".[6] A total of 9,501,265 passengers used the airport from 1980 to 2004, averaging 2,770 passengers per day.[7]
In April 2013, the Tanzania Airports Authority signed a TSH 275 billion contract with BAM International of the Netherlands for the construction of the first phase of Terminal III, with a capacity of 3.5 million passengers per year.[8] In November 2015, the second phase was also awarded to BAM, at a contract price of US$110 million, and will add capacity for an additional 2.5 million passengers per year.[9] After completion of Terminal III, it is expected that Terminal II will be devoted solely to domestic passengers.[9] It is proposed to build a rail shuttle link from the airport to the city and rail coaches have already been bought for this (2014).[10]
