A new runway and international and domestic departure
lounges is due to be built at Cape Town international airport within the next
four years. The expansions will increase the airports capacity after its
international arrivals increased by 9% in 2019. The airports company promises
that passenger disruption will be kept to a minimum, and that flight will still
be able to depart and land normally during construction.
It’s said that Cape Town international airport is set for a
R7 Billion new runway, as well as some new grand lounges due to be completed by
2023. They said that it is set to start this year! Yes you heard right they can
start in 2020.
We are aware that the drought that we had heavily affected
the local tourism industry and made our Airport a little less footprint.
Revamping this airport will just bring a more homely feel to the environment and
effect not only our tourists but all of our locals.
There is also a realigned 3.500 meter runway that will allow
larger aircraft and the world’s largest passenger airline and that would be no
other than the airbus A380 to land at the airport. How exciting!
Provisions have been made for even more future projects to
take place so future expansion of the airport terminals towards the runway and
accommodate additional aircraft. The world is expanding and growing at a rapid
speed, we need to keep up!
A few other things like the baggage hall and meet and greet
area will all be reconfigured and upgraded to a new and exciting accommodation.
Yes! I am sure you are thinking, but what about the flights that will now be
delayed or will there be enough aircrafts while this construction goes ahead?
All precautions will be taken for all passengers.
