The terminal building needs to warrant sufficient spatial provision for passengers who are going to be seated, lounging and present in the waiting area. Provision will be made for passengers queuing at the gates, general passenger movement, retail space and for ablution facilities. There will be provision for additional ablution facilities for both lower and upper levels calculated on the basis of occupancy provisions. With the design of the new terminal building, detailed condition assessments have had to be carried out, in addition surveys of various existing infrastructure have had to be undertaken. 

The parking area for airside ground support equipment (GSE) is being relocated to allow for the bussing terminal. It was suggested by ACSA’s Operations Manager, Ryan Williams, that the airside equipment storage area is to be relocated to a triangular area available between the Delta and Foxtrot apron. The allocated area is suitable for storage as it is reinforced and paved, and therefore doesn’t require further construction. The equipment relocation site is in close proximity to service both the Delta and Foxtrot apron.

Due to the internal limitation of space, the boarding gate on the south will be relocated to the east whilst the parking bay still kept on the south. The boarding gate on the east is to be used when the eight gates on the north are at maximum capacity.

The project is in line with the Lesedi’s expansion plan and will extend the Company’s portfolio. In addition it will expand on Lesedi’s aviation experience, further extending the Company’s professional capacity.
