DURBAN AIR TRAVEL

CHANGE OVER OF AIRPORTS: 01 MAY 2010

Please be advised that on 01 May 2010 the new King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) becomes operational for all Durban-bound air travel. The existing Durban International Airport will be decommissioned; although it may be used for a temporary period during the Soccer World Cup event if required.

All flights into Durban up to and including Friday 30 April 2010 will operate from the current airport. From 01 May 2010, all flights will officially operate out of the new airport which is located approximately 35 kilometers north of the city centre.

Please factor in extra time to get to and from KSIA and bear in mind that if you are travelling in one direction before 30 April and back after 01 May, that you may need a shuttle between the two airports.

SHUTTLE SERVICE
ACSA will provide a shuttle transfer between King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) and Durban International Airport (DIA) which will cover the cost for passengers that leave cars at DIA from 01 May for one week only.

Thereafter transportation between both airports will be for the passenger’s account and they will have to arrange transfers themselves.

Please be advised that SANRAL has just confirmed that the new Toll Plaza on the southbound on-ramp towards Durban as one exits the King Shaka International Airport, will become operational at 00:00 on Saturday 1 May 2010.
