Berbera Airport's new terminal is currently under construction:

Very much reminiscent of these historic buildings in Zeila:

Im very excited about this project. I only wish the building were bigger and several storeys higher.

Berbera doesnt see a huge amount of traffic, now that Hargeisa is fully functional. Its a secondary airport mainly for Larger Aircraft who need its long runway. Actually I prefer a compact Terminal as long as it is well kept and furnished. They should really make the interior look like a proper Airport this time as they have a blank canvas to work with. Proper seats, Flight info screens, branded check-in desks, uniformed well presented, well trained staff, nice buses to transfer people to and from the aircraft and a proper VIP lounge. It would be nice, but if Somalis are in charge of providing all of that, isn't going to happen.
