Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has committed to “strengthening operational resilience” by securing two additional backup generators at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) to ensure uninterrupted operations during critical periods and reduce the risk of future disruptions.

This comes after a damaged electrical cable halted operations at CTIA yesterday (Thursday).

“The necessary repairs were successfully completed yesterday, and power was fully restored within three hours of the incident. Acsa can confirm that CTIA is operating as normal.

“All systems are now functioning as expected and fuelling operations have resumed without issue,” a spokesman said.
