Why

The project's central location enhances accessibility for trucking companies from neighboring countries such as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola.

Botswana, with low tax rates, no foreign exchange controls, and minimal labor strife, is well-positioned to leverage its strategic location as a gateway to the southern African market, benefiting from its membership in SADC and SACU.

Botswana’s independent judiciary offers strong protection of property rights, boosting investor confidence and making it an ideal location for major investments in Africa.

The MCIA project will boost Botswana's air cargo infrastructure and competitiveness, stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and build local capacity. It will elevate Botswana's role in the global diamond trade and serve as a gateway for other industries, promoting economic diversification and adding value.

The MCIA will create a state-of-the-art facility capable of handling millions of tonnes of cargo annually, addressing the SADC region's growing air cargo needs. The project supports the RESET agenda, which aims to reboot Botswana's economy through transformative strategies.

In conclusion, the Mophane City International Airport project offers a major opportunity for Botswana and the SADC region, aligning with the Government's goals of economic diversification, citizen empowerment, and private sector involvement. International investors are invited to join this transformative and profitable venture.
