The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Given as scheduled, per the source: "Phase I is expected to open in 2030 with two runways and capacity for 60 million passengers."
CNN's own headline and 1 February 2026 publish date independently describe Bishoftu as 'Africa's biggest airport' being built for $12.5 billion, consistent with the pin's project claim, though the page itself returned a legal/regional access block (HTTP 451) and could not be fetched directly.
Ethiopian Airlines' own press release confirms construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony on 10 January 2026, with Phase One 'projected to finish by 2030' - consistent with the pin's stored end-of-2030 target, though the release itself marks the start of construction rather than its completion.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
