Lethem aerodrome to be upgraded to regional hub

THE transformation of the Lethem aerodrome into a regional airport remains a priority for the A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) Government, Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson said on Sunday during the ceremonial signing of an agreement for the rehabilitation of the aerodrome.

The agreement was signed at the Takutu Hotel in Lethem. The contract was awarded to H. Nauth and Sons Limited on September 20, 2019 for $137. 3M.

The contracted works will see the upgrading of 4000ft of runway, which work forms Phase 1 of the upgrades to meet International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards.
