KING SHAKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT DROP-OFF AREA REFURBISHMENT

DURBAN, 22 February 2023 – King Shaka International Airport will be undertaking maintenance work on the canopy structure above the drop-off area (elevated roadway) from the 3rd of March 2023 and is expected to be completed at the end of July 2023.

The work entails the refurbishment of the canopy above the drop-off area. The works will be executed in phases. Paintwork on various elements of the structure will be undertaken in the current phase.

The project will involve the closure of the inner and outer traffic lanes on an alternating basis as the work proceeds. Passengers and airport users can continue to make use of the drop-off entrances as these will all remain operational.

Nkosinathi Myataza, ACSA Regional General Manager says, “To ensure minimal disruptions to the passenger travel experience, the works have been carefully planned with various measures having been put in place. We however urge passengers to consider these works in their travel plans, especially during peak periods.

Passengers and airport users are encouraged to take note of signage placed in strategic areas around the work area and to observe the flagman that will be managing traffic at the drop-off area.”

It is important to note that the project will be executed in a phased approach, should the airport anticipate the closure of the drop-off area during this period, this will be communicated well in advance with alternative arrangements provided.

We urge our airport travelers to keep informed through our social media platforms or contact our Airport Call centre at 032 436 6585 or [email protected], available from 05h00 – 22h00.

Not everyone will appreciate this photo.

I took it yesterday afternoon, during our descent on the flight from sunny Cape Town into rainy Durban.

If you zoom in close, you'll see the logo on the wingtip.

I was tickled by the analogy - Wallowing and wading through endless grey clouds, the green and gold logo pops up and reassures you that we're still world champs, even when the going is tough.

Well played FlySafair

Our friends at FlySafair have done it again! They are the first airline in the world to launch a service where customers can make payments for booking extras via WhatsApp.

FlySafair Introduces WhatsApp Mobile Payments for Extras

30 January 2023 – Low-cost carrier, FlySafair is the first airline in the world to launch a service where customers can make payments for booking extras via WhatsApp. This innovation, called Chat 2 Pay, continues the airline’s commitment to seamless travel experiences.

This particular feature means that customers can now add checked luggage to an existing booking and make payment for that service, all within the context of a simple WhatsApp chat. Launch functionality is currently limited to adding checked luggage, but the airline is in the process of adding other options like snack vouchers to the platform.

“We’re always trying to improve our customer experience and we’re thrilled to be able to offer this innovative new way of managing bookings. WhatsApp is such a fundamental part of our daily lives and it makes perfect sense to bring these capabilities into that environment”, explained Kirby Gordon FlySafair Chief Marketing Officer.

This is the next in a series of recent improvements FlySafair has made to their WhatsApp service. Just last year the airline worked with technology partner Clickatell to introduce features which allow passengers to manage their bookings via WhatsApp. Now passengers can do everything from looking up a flight status to checking-in, confirming checked luggage inclusions, receiving boarding passes, and live-chatting with airline customer service agents right from WhatsApp.

“Our goal is to offer all the functionality currently available on our website via WhatsApp to make end-to-end booking and reservation management as easy as possible,” said Gordon. “Introducing this payment capability is the next step in achieving this goal, reducing the stress of traveling by offering a convenient, safe, and secure way to pay make payments right in the chat environment.”

“Our work with FlySafair is further evidence that Chat Commerce is a vital part of a seamless customer journey. Our partnership has already seen South Africa’s favourite chat channel, WhatsApp, become an integral part of FlySafair’s omni-channel offering and we are excited to see what new chat services our teams can deliver to an airline who clearly prides itself on its innovation and commitment to engaging with its customers on the channels they prefer,” said Werner Lindemann, Clickatell’s Senior Vice President Enterprise Sales: Growth Markets.

Passengers can access this WhatsApp service by sending Hi to the FlySafair business account on +27 87 357 0030. Following the simple prompts passengers will select the first option labelled My Booking to identify the relevant reservation. If the user is unsure whether they already have a bag they can select the second option Luggage/Bags and Restrictions to check or if they are sure they can skip straight to option three to Buy a Bag. Payment is ultimately made via WhatsApp by following the prompts on the secure payment link using any Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card.
