Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) is a state-influenced operator in the aviation sector, based in Kempton Park, Gauteng. Formed in 1993 as a public company, it remains legally and financially autonomous while being majority-owned by the South African government. The company manages a network of nine airports in South Africa, including O.R. Tambo International, Cape Town International, and King Shaka International, serving millions of passengers. It has evolved from a fragmented infrastructural parastatal into a focused, customer-driven business operating under commercial law, with nearly 36 million passengers passing through its airports in 2012. The company has pursued international projects, including participation in the development and management of Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and, with Invepar, Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo. A recent development is a May 2026 collaboration with HENSOLDT South Africa to deploy a next-generation avian radar at King Shaka International Airport, supported by Robin Radar Systems and the University of KwaZulu-Natal, to enhance aviation safety and biodiversity protection.
