Modernisation

In 2009 a Chinese company called Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Corporation began construction work on the airport with an estimated cost of US$9 million to refurbish, expand and modernize the airport. The new terminal building was inaugurated on 13 April 2011 by Mozambican President Armando Guebuza.{{Cite web|url=http://newsmoz.blogspot.com/2011/04/president-inaugurates-new-terminal-at.html|title=MOZNews: PRESIDENT INAUGURATES NEW TERMINAL AT VILANKULO AIRPORT|last=A.majacunene|date=2011-04-14|website=MOZNews|access-date=2018-08-21}} The modern air-conditioned International airport will make it possible for larger aircraft to access the airport and use the facilities. Since the expansion of the passenger terminal it has a capacity of 200,000 passengers, up from its previous 75,000 capacity.
