ABOUT US

ACSA is a state-owned entity responsible for managing one of the largest airport networks under a single authority in the world. Our main objective is to deliver world-class airport infrastructure that facilitates the smooth movement of people, goods and services to promote trade and tourism within South Africa and across borders. Our airports play a crucial part in society, driving regional economic transformation, unlocking economic opportunities, and enhancing South Africa’s global competitiveness.

ACSA traces its origin to the era when South Africa’s airports were under State ownership and management. Established on 23 July 1993, ACSA took over the management of nine national airports initially owned solely by the State, represented by the Ministry of Transport. Through partial privatisation, ACSA evolved into a mature and successful entity responsible for key airports in South Africa, including major international gateways such OR Tambo, Cape Town and King Shaka International Airports. Additionally, ACSA Group actively engages in airport advisory and technical services as well as investment in other airports both locally and globally.

Our mandate

In terms of the Airports Company Act (No. 44 of 1993, as amended), the Group is mandated to undertake the acquisition, establishment, development, provision, maintenance, management, operation and control of any airport, any part of any airport, or any facility or service at any airport that is related to the normal functioning of that airport.

Value proposition

Our revenue streams

Our revenue is generated through three primary streams: aeronautical, non-aeronautical, and non-core activities.

Aeronautical revenue comprises government-regulated charges levied on airport users, primarily airlines, for services such as aircraft landing and parking, airline passenger services, and the usage of airport facilities on departure.

Non-aeronautical income includes diverse sources such as retail, car rental, concessions, real estate, parking, hotels and advertising.

Additionally, non-core revenue is generated from advisory and technical services provided both domestically and internationally, as well as equity investments in other airports abroad.
