last update: 25 February 2026
Following the earlier fire incident at Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town, airport technical teams are continuing recovery operations as some operational systems remain partially constrained.
Although power supply has been successfully restored across affected areas, the airport’s network and IT infrastructure are still in the process of being stabilised. As a result, several digital and automated processes are not yet fully operational.
Manual check-in procedures currently in effect
Airlines operating at Cape Town International Airport (CPT) are temporarily conducting manual check-in at airport counters while system restoration efforts continue. This measure ensures flight departures can proceed, but passengers should expect:
- Longer processing times
- Possible departure delays
- Extended queues at check-in counters
- Slower baggage handling procedures
Delays may continue into this morning (25 February 2026) as technical teams work to fully restore all systems.
Passenger advisory: Arrive early and check flight status
Travellers departing from Cape Town International Airport (CPT) are strongly advised to:
- Arrive at the airport earlier than usual
- Follow instructions issued by their respective airlines
- Monitor real-time flight updates before leaving for the airport
For the latest flight-specific information, passengers should check the official Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) Mobile App or contact their airline directly.
Ongoing Monitoring
Airport authorities continue to prioritise passenger safety and operational recovery. Further updates will be issued as full system functionality is restored.
