Working and Transporting @ 22
April 2012
The Ministry of Works and Transport has, for 22 years, been a custodian to billions of dollars worth of Government property. It supervises the functioning of the State-owned Enterprises (SoEs). Air Namibia, Namibia Ports Authority, TransNamib Holdings Ltd, Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA), Namibia Airports Company, Roads Authority and Roads Contractor Company.
Refurbishment of airports
The upgrading of various components of the airports is in full swing and this includes The Walvis Bay Airport, Hosea Kutako International Airport, Eros and at Lüderitz airports. Equipments are being installed at the Area Control Centre of the Directorate Civil Aviation at Eros Airport. This provides a link to new communication equipment at 10 remote radio stations spread across the country.
This involves the provision of meteorological equipment and an aeronautical information system at Hosea Kutako International Airport, Eros, Walvis Bay and Lüderitz airports.
The ministry established a New Area Control Centre for the Windhoek Flight Information Reading (FIR). The first phase of the New Radar and Surveillance, which was launched in December last year is valued at N$255m. The project included the purchase of co-mounted primary and secondary radar, which was installed at Hosea Kutako International Airport.

The Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) equipment manufactured in the Czech Republic was deployed at 36 sites throughout the country.
