Airports agency the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has managed to increase the number of jet fuel reserves at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) and is confident that flight movements will continue as per schedule.

The vessel carrying jet fuel has docked and, once tests have been successfully run, the jet fuel will then be pumped into the refinery, it says.

CTIA management, on October 3, engaged airlines and requested a reduction in uplift of fuel, and this has allowed the airport to now have up to four-and-a-half days of fuel reserves.

The airport’s management, together with airlines, have ensured that there is very little flight disruptions and, to date, only one airline has had to cancel their international flight, ACSA says.

"We would like to urge travellers, especially those travelling internationally, to arrive at least four hours prior to departure as this will assist in their facilitation," it states.
