2026-03-20

On March 8, 10 Sanyi SY335C excavators successfully arrived at the project site of Bishovtu International Airport in Ethiopia and were officially delivered to the new airport project in Ethiopia.

Bisovtu International Airport is located in Biusovtu, Oromiya Oblast, Ethiopia, about 40 kilometers from the capital Addis Ababa, with a total investment of about 12.5 billion US dollars, and will become Africa's largest aviation hub. Among them, the total amount of earthworks in the first phase of the project is about 320 million cubic meters, and the investment amount is about 600 million US dollars.

A total of 50 units of Sanyi will be delivered. With efficient and reliable operating performance, the first batch of 10 SY335C excavators has been first invested in the project earthworks, and has performed well. The remaining 20 excavation equipment and 20 pumpway equipment are being shipped to the site in an orderly manner, and will also be in place one after another, providing a strong guarantee for the rapid advancement of the project.

The SANY Ethiopian team said that it will rely on localized service network and professional technical support to provide all-weather and full life-cycle service guarantee for the project, and make every effort to promote the smooth completion of this "new gateway for Africa" project to jointly draw a new chapter of China-Africa cooperation.
