Cape Town International Airport confirms that operations are returning to normal following a fire in the International Inner Lane (Northern Service Yard) on Tuesday, 24 February. The fire was swiftly extinguished with no injuries reported.

In line with established safety protocols, power across the terminal was temporarily isolated to allow for thorough safety assessments. While power and most systems have been restored, some manual processing remains in place.

We would like to thank our passengers, airline partners, and stakeholders for their patience. We extend our sincere thanks to the emergency response teams for their swift and professional action.

Updates will be issued as more information becomes available from the ongoing investigation into the cause of the fire.
