Acsa ready for peak travel season at its airports
Following a challenging two years, when the aviation industry was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) expects to see a recovery in passenger volumes and movements to return to near pre-pandemic levels during this year's peak season.
The company is ready to handle the millions of passengers that will pass through its airports during the busiest times of the peak season, with plans in place to ensure that passengers have a stress-free and efficient experience.
Mpumi Mpofu, Acsa CEO says the organisation is ready for the influx of passengers across its airport network, and started the implementation of the plans a couple of months ago. “It took months of planning, but we finalised our Integrated Peak Season Plan and implemented it at the end of October.
"Overall, we are pleased with what has been an initially difficult and slow response to a robust recovery in passenger movements and air traffic volumes during this year," she says.
The figures issued by the Airports Council International (ACI) show global air travel is expected to fully recover from Covid-19-induced losses in 2024. More specifically, according to ACI data, demand for air travel continues to be strong despite heightened macroeconomic risks with forecasts seeing a continued dynamic in the second half of 2022.
