New Central Terminal Building for Cape Town International Airport

Cape Town International Airport is in the middle of an extensive ongoing upgrade and development programme. This will include extensions to and re-building of the existing terminal buildings, the construction of parkades and an expanded runway system. Despite extensions to the terminal buildings, the airport will still not offer sufficient aircraft parking alongside the main terminal buildings and thus the long-term planning will incorporate remote parking alongside satellite terminal buildings, parallel to the main terminal buildings. These satellite terminals will be linked to the main complex by an underground passage equipped with travelators. The first phase will see additional parking for aircraft and capacity for 6,5million passengers. ACSA plans to construct two parkades, allowing domestic and international arrivals access by elevated walkways, with departing passengers gaining access to the terminals from ground level. Project value:R1.6 billion.
