Maintenance and refurbishments will occur at King Shaka International Airport this March.
On their Twitter page, the airport announced that they ‘will be undertaking maintenance work on the canopy structure above the drop-off area from the 3rd of March and is expected to be completed at the end of July 2023.’
The refurbishment of the canopy will be executed in phases and will include alternatively closing off the outer and inner traffic lanes.
The drop-off entrances will remain open, so airport users can continue using them.
