New runway for Lanseria
NIETGEDAGHT - Lanseria International Airport opened its new runway on 11 November.
The 3km-long and 45m-wide runway means that larger passenger and cargo aircraft will be able to use the airport.
The new runway project, that took just over a year to complete and cost around R150 million, is just one of the many improvements made to the international airport to accommodate its growth.
“Ongoing improvements and new facilities will ensure the longevity of the airport. The entire customer experience has been enriched,” said Gavin Sayce, CEO of the airport.
“We are constantly upgrading and extending facilities as our business grows,” he added.
As Gauteng’s only privately-owned international airport, ongoing investment will ensure it remains a world-class facility.
The airport – which is the fourth busiest in South Africa – has a strong focus on passengers, and has rolled out various customer-friendly enhancements.
Some of these include shorter check-in times, self-service kiosks, quick baggage collection, ample parking, and fast drop ‘n go facilities.
