JOHANNESBURG, 23 February 2010.

As was reported recently Airports Company South Africa participated with the South African Aviation Authority (SACAA) in a series of highly technical tests at George Airport on Monday 15th February 2010 to reconfirm its runway safety. This was in line with the notification that was issued by the SACAA that the George runway be closed during rainy weather only.

Whilst the results of the tests are still being reviewed and evaluated by the SACAA, a process SA Express respects, and due to the rainy weather experienced at George airport, the runaway will remain closed until further notice.

All affected passengers can contact us for an alternative arrangement as there will be no landing and take offs during this time. For any enquiries passengers are welcome to call the George Airport helpline on 044 876 9310 or SA Express on 0861 SAXCARES (0861 729 227). More information can also be obtained from the ACSA website.
