Aggregates suppliers in South Africa and beyond could benefit from the upgrade of Cape Town International Airport’s domestic and international terminals.
The Airport’s runway will also be re-aligned as part of the planned US$640 million (R7.7-billion) expansion by the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). The project will be completed in the next three years.
Speaking at the Indaba 2015, spokesperson for ACSA, Collin Naidoo, has said that the airport development was part of his company’s new operation model which aims to improve airports in South Africa. Lanseria, the only privately owned international airport, is also set to construct a new airport terminal, and Africa-based Construction Review Online reports Naidoo saying that this was a sign of growth and not a threat.
Naidoo has said that Airports Company South Africa is facilitating transportation of over 38 million passengers through the country’s nine airports in the country. ACSA had its first international contract back in 2007 to manage the Mumbai International Airport with facilitation of the country’s new airport terminal.
Other projects that ACSA has include the running of Brazils Sao Paulo airport where a new airport terminal was constructed, and management of the Airports in Ghana.
