Development

CTIA is currently undergoing major renovations at a total cost of R1,3 billion to accommodate the expected 14-million passengers by 2015. The new International Terminal has already been completed with the first of two new multi-storey car parkades already operational adjacent to the Domestic Terminal, the second is commencing construction in April 2007 and will be located opposite the International Terminal and will provide an additional 2500 parking bays.

The single landside road access will be reconfigured to provide a two-level roadway, with the lower-level for arrivals and upper-level for departures. This will increase capacity at the airport and completely alter the face of the airport. Construction has already begun and is scheduled for completion by 2009.

The domestic terminals are receiving a complete face-lift in conjunction with a new central terminal building at a cost of R900 million, linking the international and domestic terminals. The domestic terminal will be extensively upgraded and expanded, with the central terminal accommodating both additional international and domestic arrivals and departures. Complementing additional capacity, additional glass air-bridges will be added at airside to facilitate direct access from arrivals and departures to the aircraft.
