King Shaka International Airport, South Africa
The popular King Shaka International Airport is the main airport serving Durban, South Africa. It is located in La Mercy, KwaZulu-Natal, about 35 kilometers north of Durban. The airport handled its first flight in May 2010, slightly over a month before the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
King Shaka is a replacement of the former Durban International Airport (ICAO: FADN) and still uses the old IATA airport code. It is estimated to have cost $900 million. The airfield has one large passenger terminal located on the southern end of the airport.
The terminal, which has a capacity of more than 5 million passengers, is divided into two levels: Arrivals and departures. It has 34 aircraft parking bays and 16 jet bridges. On the northern end of the airport is the cargo terminal, which has a capacity of 150,000 metric tons.
These airports may not meet all the required international standards but they truly represent the African success story. They guarantee all travellers a well-organized, clean and pleasant travel experience.
