ACSA looks to unlock new growth opportunities at Routes World 2024
Airports Company South Africa’s (ACSA) is proud to announce its participation in the prestigious Routes World 2024 conference, taking place from 6 - 8 October 2024 in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The annual global route development forum brings together more than 2 300 decision makers from the world’s airlines, airports and cutting-edge route development industries to outline the latest market insights and provide expert advice that will inform business strategy and redefine global air connectivity as we know it.
ACSA’s delegation will be led by Group Executive Commercial and Business Development, Ms. Lauriette Sesoko, and Mr. Mpho Rambau, Acting Group Manager Traffic Development.
The company will engage with global airlines and aviation stakeholders with the aim of strengthening its existing partnerships and showcasing South Africa’s major international airports - O.R. Tambo International, King Shaka International, and Cape Town International - which act as critical hubs of international traffic to the rest of the continent and other international regions.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the combined domestic and international passenger traffic during August saw a 9.6% year-on-year increase in demand for travel, while air cargo saw a 7.5% year-on-year increase in demand. This data signals the continuation of solid and consistent demand for air transportation on the continent, and ACSA recognises the critical role of route development as a forward-looking function for the business and its strategic objectives.
ACSA’s delegation will be fixed on identifying new opportunities for route expansion regionally and globally that will enhance air connectivity and boost economic growth both in South Africa and across the continent.
