passengers who must assess whether or not we are meeting our objectives and
these SKYTRAX awards are the best possible validation that indeed we are. It is
particularly gratifying that Airports Company South Africa has once again
demonstrated its relentless pursuit of excellence by winning all three of the
SKYTRAX awards available for the Africa region with six of our airports ranked
