Two people have died in separate incidents at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and King and King Shaka International Airport
Two people have died in separate incidents at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and King Shaka International Airport in KwaZulu-Natal .“Officials at ORTIA received a call at 15:10 reporting that a person had fallen from parking level 5 to the ground level. Law enforcement and airport health officials stationed at the 24-hour clinic were immediately alerted to the incident. Paramedics later arrived and declared the unidentified traveller dead on the scene.
“ACSA can also confirm that an unidentified male passenger passed away at King Shaka International Airport. The passenger reportedly collapsed at the terminal’s domestic arrival area. Emergency services were immediately called and attended to him, but he was unfortunately declared dead on the scene,” Mulibana said.“We can confirm that the matter has been handed over to the South African Police Service and that an inquest docket has been opened for further investigations.
Eastern Cape Transport Department spokesperson Unathi Binqose said dozens of travellers were left stranded and frustrated. “Weather conditions have improved significantly; the skies have cleared and flights are back in the skies. Our colleagues at ATNS are working around the clock to have their navigation systems challenges resolved.”
Acsa last week said six flights were cancelled and two others delayed on Wednesday due to severe weather conditions and the suspension of certain Instrument Flight Procedures at King Phalo Airport.Last month, ATNS suspended procedures for all instrument-navigation flight approaches at airports in George, Kimberley, Polokwane, Mthatha and Richards Bay indefinitely.
