The project will allow for the airport to operate aircraft with wingspans of 65 m or more, such as the Airbus A380 Superjumbo.

Latest Developments
The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has granted final approval for the building of the airport’s new, realigned runway.
A number of the project’s processes, such as detailed design, still have to be concluded. Should they all be completed on schedule, the building of the runway will start next year. The Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA) will inform the DEA a minimum of 14 days before the start of construction.
CTIA is one of nine airports owned and operated by ACSA. Together, these account for more than 80% of South Africa’s commercial air travel, and they make the company the biggest airport operator in Africa.
