Transport minister Fikile Mbalula says he is satisfied with the measures put in place at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg as domestic travel resumes in level 3 of the lockdown.
Mpofu said she was confident that airports would be safe for employees and passengers as the company started preparing for the eventual reopening almost as soon as the national lockdown was implemented.
“Conforming to global standards is essential for airports, particularly when we eventually reach a point where the government can consider opening up airports for international travel.”
