    Severe jet fuel shortage at South Africa's busiest airport: looming crisis for February flights

    Efforts to alleviate the shortage include prioritizing the movement of imported fuel from Durban to Gauteng via Transnet and increasing rail transport from Durban and Matola in Mozambique. Excess storage capacity at Durban's King Shaka International Airport is being utilized to build reserves. Airlines have implemented measures such as tankering (which involves refueling at alternative airports to conserve the limited fuel in OR tanks) and have resulted in several diversions of flights.

    Despite these measures, airlines have raised concerns about restrictions from suppliers, leading to additional refueling stoppages at alternative airports. Passengers are being urged to prepare for potential delays. “ACSA recommends allocating plenty of time for connections, especially for international flights,” the airline said, adding that passengers should arrive early and work closely with their airline to ensure a seamless travel experience. He said he encourages regular contact.
