Durban: King Shaka International Airport drop-off area refurbishment to start in March 2023!

Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has announced that King Shaka International Airport (DUR) in Durban will be undertaking maintenance work on the canopy structure above the drop-off area (elevated roadway) from the 03 March 2023. The work, which is expected to be completed at the end of July 2023, entails the refurbishment of the canopy above the drop-off area and will be executed in phases. Paintwork on various elements of the structure will be undertaken in the current phase.
The project will involve the closure of the inner and outer traffic lanes on an alternating basis as the work proceeds. The drop-off entrances will all remain operational. However, passengers and airport users are encouraged to take note of signage placed in strategic areas around the work area and to observe the flagman that will be managing traffic at the drop-off area. ACSA is advising passengers to consider these works in their travel plans, especially during peak periods. We'll keep you posted!
