For domestic travellers, Acsa chief executive Mpumi Mpofu has urged travellers to ensure that they arrive at least two hours before flight time.

The Airports Company South Africa has unreservedly apologised to all stakeholders and members of the public for the flight disruptions that occurred at O.R. Tambo International Airport earlier this week.As South Africa reaches its peak festive season travel period, the Airports Company South Africa urged international travellers to arrive at the airport at least three hours before your scheduled flight's time.

“As a result of the incidents we have had we are proposing an alternative arrangement. This is akin to what we have used during Covid-19 times in order to be able to manage the big numbers that are coming through this festive season,” said Acsa chief executive Mpumi Mpofu at a media briefing. “We are therefore moving away from the traditional two hours before international travel and we are requesting passengers to arrive, in this instance for this peak season, three hours before. Just that additional hour is able to help us ease both the big numbers coming through and also ensure that we support the BMA in the implementation of their particular system.”

However, De Lille said the damage has already been done, considering that it is peak season of travelling, and domestic and international travellers were inconvenienced.
