Stella Manyanga, the Rukwa Regional Commissioner has instead urged the government to construct a new airport at Kisumba village as the present facility does not have enough land for future expansion.[5] In April 2013, the Tanzania Airports Authority allocated funds for the evaluation of the area for the proposed future airport.[6]
