Geocache Description:

Welcome to King Shaka Airport. Be you arriving or departing, hopefully you will enjoy this magnificent airport. The parking is R 12.00 for the hour and you will be able to do both in one hour. Please bring a pen.

South Africa's new international airport became operational on 1
May 2010. The last flight out of the old Durban International
Airport – now too small to handle the growing tourist and
commercial trade through Durban – took place on 30 April
2010.

The R7.9-billion greenfield airport, South Africa's second-largest
transport infrastructural project after the Gautrain rapid rail
link, is situated at La Mercy, 35 kilometres north of Durban.

Named after the great 19th century Zulu warrior-king, King Shaka
International Airport represents a major expansion over Durban
International, with huge growth potential.

With 102 000m² of floor area in its passenger terminal building
(compared to 30 000m² at the old airport), King Shaka International
has the capacity to handle 7.5-million passengers annually (old
airport: 4.4-million), with room for significant future
expansion.

Its 3.7-kilometre runway (old airport: 2.4km) is capable of
accommodating the world's largest aircraft, including the
double-decker Airbus A380, with provision for future construction
of a second runway.

It also boasts 34 aircraft parking bays (versus 23 at the old
airport), 16 air bridges (versus 0), 72 check-in counters (versus
52), 18 self-service kiosks (versus 4), 52 retail outlets (versus
23), over 6 500m² of retail space (versus 2 900m²), and 6 500
vehicle parking bays (versus 2 500).

The passenger terminal building incorporates the latest design
concepts to make passenger movement from arrival to departure as
smooth and pleasant as possible.
