Tourism Update also reported that the revamp will include additional contact stands, as well as enhanced security features including expanded self-service boarding facilities and full-body scanners.
The upgrades were initially due to begin in 2020. However, plans were delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery periods.
The project forms part of a greater modernisation of a number of South African airports, including Johannesburg’s OR Tambo and King Phalo in East London.
