Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>King Shaka International Airport in Durban is conducting a full-scale aerodrome emergency exercise on Friday, says Airports Company South Africa (Acsa).<\/p>\n

The safety drill, mandated every two years, is carried out in accordance with aviation legislation and the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exercise is designed to test and strengthen the airport\u2019s and supporting services’ readiness in the event of an aircraft disaster, ensuring all systems, protocols and personnel are fully prepared to respond and effectively manage aircraft or airport incidents,\u201d said Acsa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis large-scale simulation will involve multiple stakeholders, including the SAPS, eThekwini Disaster Risk Management Centre, fire and rescue service, SANDF, metro emergency medical services, traffic police and other critical partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public can expect to see heightened activity in and around the airport precinct during the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a planned simulation and not an emergency. Normal airport operations will continue without disruption throughout the exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n
