Major upgrades are on the cards for Port Elizabeth International Airport, according to Herald Live.

Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) plans to turn the airport into an international travel hub within the next 10 years.

While developments are still in the planning phase, Acsa has consulted with municipal officials, tourism authorities and business leaders in the metro.

The airport can handle two million passengers a year, and saw 1,6 million people pass through the terminal in the 2016-17 financial year.

Acsa’s target for the next decade is to upgrade the terminal and facilities to be able to accommodate four million passengers a year.
