DURBAN - The Airports Company SA expects demand for business travel to be slow after three airports opened this week in line with new regulations under lockdown level 3 as Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said yesterday he hoped airports could help reignite economic growth.

“Now that we have started with opening up aviation, we must look ahead with determination in order for the transport sector to perform its vital economic role,” he said.The company owns three of the four airports that opened in phase 1 of the domestic air travel permitted to operate under level 3. These airports are OR Tambo, Cape Town and King Shaka International Airport.

Airports were deep-cleaned and sanitised and kept clear of people for the duration of the travel restrictions. He said conforming to global standards was essential for airports, particularly when the country eventually reached a point where the government could consider opening up airports for international travel.
