Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has managed to increase the number of jet fuel reserves at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) and is confident that flight movements will continue as per schedule. 

ACSA was advised today (03/10) that the vessel carrying jet fuel has docked, and once tests have been successfully run the jet fuel will then be pumped into the refinery. 

CTIA management earlier today engaged airlines and requested a reduction in uplift of fuel, and this has allowed the airport to now have up to 4.5 days of fuel reserves. The airport’s management together with airlines have ensured that there is very little flight disruptions, and to date, only one airline has had to cancel their international flight.

We would like to urge the travellers, especially those travelling internationally to arrive at least four hours prior to departure as this will assist in their facilitation.
