Investors wanted for Eastern Cape airports

THE EASTERN Cape
government is funding
the revival of airports in
the province – and is now
looking for investors.
“Our doors are wide
open for any investor that
wants to come forward
and add value in our Blue
Skyway Aviation Strategy,
which seeks to inject new
life into our airports,” says
Roads and Transport MEC
Gloria Barry.
She was announcing the
appointment of architects
to lead a R60-million
upgrade of Mthatha Airport.
Barry says the upgrade
will take around 24 months.
A R78-million upgrade to
the Bhisho airport that was
also funded by the province
has been completed.
