Since Friday last week Security Industry Alliance (SIA) solutions and excellence systems have been working around the clock to fix the landing system at Mthatha Airport.
The Eastern Cape Department of Roads and Transport would like to give an assurance that this repair will be completed at least within 48 hours. The main challenge was to get some outstanding items due to the fact that the airport’s system is too old as it dates back to the 1970s.
As part of the long term preparation of the airport, the department has appointed a contractor to do the overhaul of the system in line with phase one of the Mthatha Airport refurbishment project, which is currently underway.
