The available information does not provide figures, timelines for specific projects, or which airports will be prioritised.

Airports Company South Africa reported an 11.6% increase in revenue to R8.81 billion for the 2025/26 financial year, according to IOL. The company said growth was supported by higher passenger volumes and expansion in non-aeronautical businesses. The results indicate stronger activity across South Africa’s airport network, with earnings rising alongside increased traveller numbers and commercial operations during the period.

According to Moneyweb, the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has initiated an upgrade project at Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport in Gqeberha. This project aims to enhance terminal facilities and is part of a larger strategy for modernising the airport to alleviate congestion.

Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has launched a R21 billion capital programme aimed at renewing focus on infrastructure investment. According to Acsa chief financial officer Luzuko Mbotya, the state-owned airport operator closed the year with more than R6 billion cash in the bank, positioning it to fund the planned upgrades. The programme signals a renewed commitment to developing and maintaining airport infrastructure across the country.
