Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Airports Company South Africa\u2019s King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) is conducting its full-scale Aerodrome Emergency Exercise on 26 September 2025.<\/p>\n

This critical safety drill, mandated every two years, is carried out in accordance with South African aviation legislation and the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).<\/p>\n

The exercise forms part of ACSA\u2019s ongoing commitment to the highest levels of public health, safety, and security.<\/p>\n

The exercise is designed to test and strengthen the airport\u2019s and supporting services\u2019 readiness in the event of an aircraft disaster.<\/p>\n

It ensures that all systems, protocols, and personnel are fully prepared to respond and effectively manage aircraft or airport incidents.<\/p>\n

This large-scale simulation will involve multiple stakeholders, including the South African Police Service and the eThekwini Disaster Risk Management Centre.<\/p>\n

It will also involve the Fire and Rescue Service, the South African National Defence Force, Metro Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Traffic Police, and other critical partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the public can expect to see heightened activity in and around the airport precinct during the exercise,\u201d Acsa said.<\/p>\n

Airports Company South Africa assured the public that this is a planned simulation only and not an actual emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly, normal airport operations will continue without disruption throughout the exercise,\u201d Acsa said.<\/p>\n
