Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) is experiencing growth with a rise in passenger numbers nearly reaching pre-COVID levels and an 11.6% increase in revenue to R8.78 billion. However, rising jet fuel and labour costs, which have doubled over the last year, present significant operational challenges.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Rising passenger numbers are reopening growth opportunities in South Africa's airports, but the doubling of jet fuel and labour costs is squeezing margins. You need to rethink cost models and explore fuel efficiency or alternative revenue streams now.
