George Airport is set for a R974 million expansion as growing passenger demand continues to strengthen air travel across the Western Cape, particularly on the Southern Cape and Garden Route.
The project will double airport capacity from 1 million to 2 million passengers annually, with completion expected in 2027, enhancing regional connectivity and supporting the province’s tourism growth trajectory.
Upgrades will improve key passenger areas including check-in facilities, security screening, baggage handling, and circulation flow, delivering a more efficient and seamless travel experience.
Delivered in phases while remaining fully operational, the expansion also reinforces sustainability priorities, targeting a 4-Star Green Star certification aligned with long-term environmental goals.
