Fibre fault leads to flight delays at Cape Town airport
The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) confirmed on Tuesday that Cape Town International Airport is experiencing flights delays due to a fibre network fault.
The fault led to the temporary downgrading of the Instrument Landing Category status of the airport.
ACSA says poor visibility conditions due to dense fog around the airport further exacerbated the challenge this morning as aircraft were unable to land at CTIA.
Spokesperson Gopolang Peme says flights had to be diverted to other airports.
"ACSA’s technicians are currently working on restoring the system and aircrafts will be able to land once the fog lifts. The delay in flights meant to land and depart from the airport will have a knock-on effect on other ACSA airports and will impact planned schedules.
"We urge passengers to contact the airlines they are travelling on and can check for regular updates on ACSA's mobile App that can be downloaded across various App stores. We apologise to all our airport users and travellers for the inconvenience caused by this."
