A Design-Build contract was awarded by the Solomon Islands Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA), acting as the Employer, to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC). CCECC appointed Kramer Ausenco and NACO, Netherlands Airport Consultants as design consultants for this project. The scope of works includes a new Terminal Building and related Special Airport Systems, landside infrastructure, utilities and airside related civil works.
This new Terminal Building is to be situated on a generally flat site in Munda settlement at the site of the current Munda International Airport, adjacent to the existing aircraft parking apron, on the island of New Georgia, Solomon Islands. The new Airport Terminal Building will be replacing two existing separate Domestic and temporary International Terminal Buildings. The development of the new Terminal Building will provide:
- Better compliance with aviation processing as per international regulations
- Allow for future expansion flexibility; and
- Provide dedicated Domestic & International Arrivals and Departures zones supported with associated Front-of-
House and Back-of-House facilities and amenities.

Similar recent experience was the delivery of the Jacksons Airport International Terminal Upgrade and more recently engineering consultancy services for Stage 1 of the Jacksons International Terming Building Upgrade. Kramer Ausenco was able to use the intimate knowledge and understanding obtained from these consultancies to successfully deliver this project.
Total Terminal Building Floor Area – ~1,700m2. Additional ~5,100m2 of External Covered Areas, Building Services Compound, Public Circulation and Car Parking.
