NATIONAL NEWS - Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) is currently experiencing delayed flights as a result of a fibre network fault. 

This fault required the airport to temporarily downgrade the Instrument Landing Category status of the airport.

Poor visibility conditions due to dense fog around the airport further exacerbated the challenge this morning, Tuesday 18 April, as aircraft were unable to land at CTIA and had to be diverted to other airports.

ACSA’s technicians are currently working on restoring the system and aircrafts will be able to land once the fog lifts. 

The delay in flights meant to land and depart from CTIA will have a knock-on effect on other ACSA airports and will impact planned schedules.

We urge passengers to contact the airlines they are travelling on and can check for regular updates on ACSA’s mobile App that can be downloaded across various App stores.

We apologise to all our airport users and travellers for the inconvenience caused by this.
