Possible airspace congestion during BRICS

The 15th BRICS Summit is scheduled to take place in South Africa, on 22nd – 24th August 2023. During

this time, the South African airspace may experience higher-than-normal air traffic movements,

specifically around Gauteng. In the main, the visiting aircraft will be using FAWK, FAOR, and FALA

airports.

We can expect air traffic movements to increase from 20th – 26th August 2023. ATNS has compiled an

ATM Operational plan to ensure that our service delivery is strengthened to meet the expected demand.

While we commit to doing everything in our power to accommodate the demand, airspace users are

requested to be patient should minor delays occur.

The Central Airspace Management Unit will continue to monitor and coordinate the management of

airspace capacity and efficiency as normal.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
