ACSA RANKED
AMONG 10 MOST PUNCTUAL IN THE WORLD |
The Minister of Transport, Dipuo
Peters, has congratulated the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA)
for having being ranked among the 10 most punctual airports in
the world.
ˇ§ACSAˇ¦s achievement, among others,
is attributed to its world-class state-of-theart Airport
Management Centre (AMC), which is the nerve centre of the
airports operations. The AMC facilitates a seamless coordination
between airlines, baggage handlers, security staff, customer
service staff, aircraft engineers and marshals,ˇ¨ said Minister
Peters.
The list was revealed by the OAG
Aviation Worldwide, a United Kingdom-based agency which monitors
on-time-performance among airlines and airports globally. OR
Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park achieved eighth
place in the large airports category while Cape Town
International Airport ranked sixth in the medium airports
category.
King Shaka International Airport in
KwaZulu-Natal was 10th in the small airports category. OAG
Aviation Worldwide tracks a minimum of 80% of the flights that
operate at an airport for it to be included in the Punctuality
League.
According to the league, the top 20
airports in the large airport category ensured that 83,9%
arriving and departing flights operated under 15 minutes of
their scheduled arrival and departure times last year.
Minister Peters said that ACSAˇ¦s
achievement followed its continuous growth in its aeronautical
income derived from regulated tariffs as well as for its
non-aeronautical revenue. ˇV Source: SAnews.gov.za
