Extensive upgrades on the cards for major South African airport
Lanseria International Airport, South Africa's only privately owned airport, is gearing up for a major transformation this year. According to BusinessTech , these major upgrades are aimed at increasing capacity at the airport, improving infrastructure, and establishing itself as a key regional hub. The South African airport is also positioning itself for long-term growth through an ambitious expansion plan. CEO Rampa Rammopo outlined a bold future for the Gauteng-based airport, BusinessTech revealed. Handling 1.9 million passengers annually, Lanseria aims to more than double that figure by 2032 and reach six million by 2037. By 2050, the goal is a staggering 18 million passengers a year.

OR Tambo Airport undergoes major upgrades to improve safety and cleanliness
OR Tambo Airport undergoes major upgrades to improve safety and cleanliness Passengers, employees and visitors at OR Tambo International Airport can expect a cleaner, safer, and more modern environment as Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) rolls out a large-scale hygiene and infrastructure upgrade. While the experience for travellers may become slightly more uncomfortable in the short term, ACSA says the disruption is a necessary part of restoring dignity, safety and confidence at South Africa's busiest airport. Speaking during a maintenance briefing on June 19, ACSA CEO Mpumi Mpofu said the initiative is about more than fixing toilets or pipes, it's about changing the overall perception of OR Tambo. ALSO READ: OR Tambo erupts in celebration as athletes return with medals from China 'We're sharing these maintenance plans because we want to reverse the narrative that OR Tambo is in a state of crisis,' Mpofu explained. 'We are working hard to restore confidence. While the maintenance work may cause disruptions, this is about giving passengers the best experience possible. It's about dignity, confidence, and doing things properly.' Top priorities in the project include addressing long-standing issues such as unpleasant odours caused by sewerage problems in the terminal basements, broken fire escape doors that have allowed vagrants and vandals to gain access, and unhygienic toilets in urgent need of refurbishment. In response, ACSA has already ramped up cleaning schedules, installed odour-control systems, repaired key infrastructure, and deployed more security personnel in affected areas. And that's just the beginning. ALSO READ: Cyclists get huge welcome at OR Tambo for Cape Town feat Restroom facilities at OR Tambo are undergoing a full upgrade, with new baby-changing rooms, disability access features, and modern fittings being installed. Passengers will also be able to scan QR codes in the restrooms to report problems immediately. Behind the scenes, airport staff are receiving ongoing professional training to ensure hygiene and safety standards align with international best practices. Mpofu cautioned travellers to expect construction sites, barriers and closed escalators throughout the airport in the coming years. 'We know passengers won't always be happy about the inconvenience, but these changes are necessary if we want to deliver the kind of airport experience that South Africans deserve,' she said. With ACSA reporting over R1 billion in profit by the second quarter of 2025, the company is confident it can fund the improvements and transform OR Tambo into a world-class gateway and symbol of national pride.
