The focus, according to an Acsa statement, will be on smaller airports like East London, Kimberley, George and Upington. Cargo and passenger
facilities are included.
The amount allocated also includes the R500m already earmarked to upgrade the major international airports at Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.
