Plans included a modern airport terminal with capacity for 200 passengers, paving the runway, widening it to {{convert|45|m|ft}}, and extending it to {{convert|2.5|km|ft}}.[6] However, these plans have stalled since 2009 because of a compensation dispute with local landowners.[4][7] These improvements are part of efforts to improve Arua Airport, Gulu Airport, and Kasese Airport to international standards. When these improvements are complete, Uganda will have four international airports, including the only preexisting international airport at Entebbe.[8] Arua Airport is one of twelve upcountry airports administered by the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority. It is also one of five upcountry airports authorized to handle cross-border air traffic from neighboring countries to promote tourism within Eastern Africa.[9][10] See also
