King Phalo airport again hit by flight disruptions

The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that adverse weather had caused “significant” disruption to flights at King Phalo Airport (KPA), in East London. The weather problem was exacerbated, stated ACSA, by Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) procedures having lapsed. The airports company assured that it was coordinating with ATNS to deal with the procedural lapses and promptly restore normal flight operations.
