Name of the Project
Lanseria International Airport expansion.

Location
Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa.

Project Owner/s
Lanseria International Airport, which comprises State-owned Public Investment Corporation, the Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund and a consortium of four black empowerment groups.

Project Description
The project entails a ten-year investment plan, until 2028, with the objective to unlock 90 ha of vacant land around the airport to maximise revenue.

The project includes:
∙ a multistorey parking garage and retail space, linked to the parkade, which have been completed. The garage has taken the number of parking bays at the airport from 3 200 to 4 200 bays.
∙ the expansion of the terminal building is under way and will increase yearly passenger capacity from three-million passengers currently to 4.5-million passengers a year. The project will add additional boarding gates and check-in counters, a new baggage handling system and new security checkpoints.
∙ the upgrade of the Barvo taxiway to allow for a dual taxiway system and to accommodate larger aircraft.

Other infrastructure projects still in the pipeline include a new fuel depot to increase jet fuel capacity from one-million litres to 1.5-million litres for which an environmental-impact assessment has started.

A new boutique hotel, with 100 to 120 rooms, and a 20 000 m2 office block have also been proposed.

There are also plans to address congestion at the drop-off and pick-up area, and accommodate Uber drivers.
