The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has reported intermittent power interruptions affecting certain areas of Cape Town International Airport (CPT). While the issue has caused disruptions in specific parts of the airport, ACSA has assured travelers and stakeholders that flight operations remain unaffected.
Technicians are currently on-site working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. ACSA has not provided a timeline for the full restoration of power but emphasized that measures are in place to minimize the inconvenience to passengers and airport staff. Essential services and operations, including check-ins, security, and baggage handling, continue to function without interruption.
Cape Town International Airport, one of South Africa’s busiest hubs, plays a critical role in both domestic and international travel, making it vital to address such challenges promptly. While this power issue does not impact flights, passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to monitor airport updates for any changes.
For African travel professionals, this development underlines the importance of staying informed about operational issues at major hubs like CPT. Although disruptions are currently limited, ensuring smooth client experiences requires proactive communication and planning. As ACSA works to resolve the issue, the airport’s ability to maintain uninterrupted flight operations demonstrates its resilience as a key player in African aviation.
