Overview to King Shaka International Airport
King Shaka International Airport is a major airport located about 22 miles north of Durban City Center. Successfully replacing Durban Airport, the newly built King Shaka International Airport commenced operations at the onset of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Although growth in the number of international flight operations has been the primary objective of the new airport, domestic services account for substantial chunk of scheduled flights from KSIA. You would come across several flights heading towards the Golden Triangle between King Shaka Airport, OR Tambo International Airport, and Cape Town International Airport.
Besides improved flight connectivity, KSIA’s integration with Dube Tradeport has contributed to an incremental growth in passenger arrivals. A leading commercial hub, Dube Tradeport is home to an exclusive trade zone directly linked to KSIA’s cargo terminal, and as well as other facilities such as, offices, Information Technology platform, Agricultural Export Zone, and tourist accommodation.
