The Caretaker Chief Administrator of the Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Joseph Boyoi Ngare, has announced plans to construct a temporary terminal at Pibor airstrip to improve safety and manage overcrowding.
Ngare made the announcement during an inspection visit to the facility on Tuesday.
The visit followed concerns over overcrowding and inadequate safety measures that pose risks to flights, passengers and goods.
