Swaziland a country of 1.2 million people in Sub Saharan Africa launched a new airport last week worth 280 million US dollar that will eventually be able to 300 passengers per hour and its runaway can accommodate jumbo jets. The construction began 11 years ago, the airport was known as Sikhupe Airport. At the opening on Friday 7th March its new name was revealed as King Mswati III International Airport. King Mswati has ruled Swaziland since 1986. The Airport has not yet granted an Operating Licence by the International Air Transport Association IATA and no airlines were expected to make use of the airport for the years to come. On other hand journalists were pulled out the area for failing to produce accreditation cards to security officials. A member of the public was also reported to have been ejected from the event for recording the proceedings.
