Project Description
In accordance the five-year permission recently granted by the Regulating Committee, ACSA has allocated R21.7-billion towards airport infrastructure developments focused on refurbishments, improvements and statutory compliance over the next five years.

The State-owned enterprise plans to embark on crucial capacity expansion projects at Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, in the Eastern Cape, and George Airport, in the Western Cape, focusing on the expansion of their terminal facilities.

ACSA also plans to build a new cargo terminal, known as Mid-field Cargo, and at a later date, the Mid-field Passenger Terminal, at the OR Tambo Internal Airport, in Gauteng.

Other significant projects at OR Tambo will include the extension of the bussing gates, which will entail adding six new bussing gates to Terminal A and expanding the retail, seating, and holding lounge areas. Additionally, as part of Phase 2 of this project, a new mezzanine level will be built to enhance circulation and optimise seating and holding space.

At Cape Town International Airport (CTIA), in the Western Cape, priority will be given to the domestic arrivals terminal reconfiguration to meet growing capacity needs. This encompasses expanding the meet and greet and baggage claim areas, an additional baggage carousel, expanding the domestic departures lounge, retail spaces, and ablution facilities, as well as the addition of three new contact gates and fixed boarding bridges.

The initiation and development of CTIA’s realigned runway development project is expected within the five-year permission period.

At King Shaka International Airport, in KwaZulu-Natal, a hotel will be developed, with terminal expansion during the final year of the five-year permission period.

At King Phalo Airport, in the Eastern Cape, the focus will be on expanding the departure lounge, relocating the security check point, upgrading of ablution facilities, improving retail options in the departure lounge, and adding offices and lounge space on the first floor.
