KING SHAKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DURBAN NEAR COMPLETION

South Africa’s newest airport, King Shaka International situated north of Durban at La Mercy, will be ready in time for the 2010 Fifa World Cup, according to a recent announcement from the Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa).

Currently 72% complete, the airport’s opening passenger capacity will be 8 million per year, compared to the 4.7 million presently handled by Durban International Airport. In terms of size, it is three times bigger than Durban International.

The R7.4 billion King Shaka International is the first brand new project undertaken by Acsa and the first greenfield airport in South Africa.

Completion of construction is expected by the end of 2009, after which Acsa will spend around four months testing the airport before its 2010 opening.
