| Kenyan-Canadian Team to Renovate JKIA in Nairobi, Kenya From: bmunson@itac.ca [mailto:bmunson@itac.ca] Sent: January 14, 2005 3:44 PM To: info@itac.ca Subject: business opportunity: new airport in Kenya upgrading IT and security/smart card systems ITAC Business Development Interest Group From: Wamahiu, Benjamin -NROBI -TD Sent: January 14, 2005 4:57 AM Subject: Kenya - Jomo Kenyatta International Airport A Canadian/Kenyan Team has been awarded the contract to undertake the planning, design and construction supervision for the expansion and modernization of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. This multi-million dollar development project, which is supported by the World Bank under the Northern Corridor Project will improve security at the airport, increase capacity, provide a new area for restaurants and retail, including the construction of a new terminal building. The objective is to bring the airport to international standards and maintain its status as the "hub" for the region. The new design would accommodate the expected increase in passengers and cargo, from the current passenger capacity of 3.45 million to 5.0 million by 2006. At present, the terminal exceeds its capacity by more than one million passengers. As a result of this rehabilitation and modernization, there will be major opportunities for suppliers of airport equipment and services, including: Airbridges, Travelators/Escalators/Elevators, Baggage Conveyors, IT Systems, Security/Smart Card Systems, Baggage & Passenger Reconciliation Systems, Glass Curtain Walling, Floor and Ceiling Finishes, Light Rail/Commuter Buses, Navigational Aids, Waste Water Treatment Plant, etc. It has come to our notice that a high-level GoK team comprising Kenya Airports Authority, Kenya Tourist Board, Ministries of Transport and Tourism, will soon be going to look at airports in Shanghai and Beijing at the invitation of the Chinese government. On their return, they will make stops in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. While the above opportunities will eventually go to tender, we would be grateful if you could provide a "heads-up" to companies that might be interested in doing airports business in Africa. Grateful too for names of Canadian companies that have operations in China for airports.
