Central Terminal Building (R2 billion)
The Central Terminal Building (CTB) construction is the largest single project Airports Company has ever embarked upon, it will provide the required international terminal capacity in terms of holding lounges, airside commercial areas and boarding gates. In addition, four 90m baggage carousels will be up and running for the massive new generation aircraft such as the A380.
Undoubtedly, this development will help ensure that ORTIA is fully prepared for the 2010 World Cup. The CTB will comprise a multi-level terminal building located between the international and domestic terminals. The Gautrain Station and the rail line will be elevated above the airport precinct (over the upper roadway system)
International Pier (535 million)
Holding lounges, airside commercial areas and boarding gates will facilitate international travellers and expand the departures and arrivals areas of the international terminal considerably. The existing Duty Free mall is also due to expand into this area. The pier development will allow for a substantial increase in the number of passengers boarding and disembarking through connecting stands (air bridges). As a result, improved passenger service will help airline operators improve their turnaround times.
Echo Apron (R219 million)
Airside capacity will increase as a result of the additional aircraft stands. The expansion of apron areas (parking bays) will be complimented by the International Pier, and development will accommodate nine contact stands in the form of air bridges linking terminals and aircraft directly. Four of these stands will accommodate an A380, the largest aircraft ever manufactured, and will be equipped with dual air bridges to load and offload passengers to upper and lower levels (2 decks make up the A380) of the aircraft at the same time.
Multi Storey Parkade (R470 million)
The new MSP2 comprises the provision of 5200 parking bays .
