The King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) represents the development of an integrated passenger and freight airport without the significant constraints associated with Durban International Airport. The passenger terminal, with an initial 18 passenger aircraft stands and a size of 19,500m2 will cater for both domestic and international travel. Initial capacity will allow for four million passengers per annum with opportunities for significant expansion. A runway length of 3,700m will accommodate the latest New Generation Large Aircraft (NGLA) including the A380 Airbus, with the space to expand to 4,000m. The passenger terminal will have expanded retail concession opportunities. Facilities for police, military, VIP, general aviation and aircraft maintenance operations will be provided.
