The supply of Jet Fuel MUST be guaranteed over the world cup period • The task team is the overall custodian of ensuring supply to meet the demand.
Airport Operational plan update - SAAF: • Airports Company South Africa has engaged the SANDF – SAAF for the proposed use of military bases that are currently in co-operative existence at BFN and PLZ airports respectively. • Also the use of military bases for diversions and / or long-term parking particularly on match day. • Facilitation of VVIP’s at the military bases • Site visits have been undertaken to identified alternate-use military bases, to inspect available facilities that could be made available by the SAAF. • SACAA to approve the use of military bases identified. • A Memorandum of Understanding will be entered between ACSA and the SANDF • This will be offered to the various airline operators as alternative diversion or parking airfields
Temporary facilities: • Siemens has been appointed to provide temporary terminal facilities at Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth airports. • These two airports were are constrained from having sufficient terminal capacity to handle the match-day volumes. • These temporary facility structures have been utilised at previous global events for airports to increase processing capacity. • These temporary structures have the capacity to process 350 additional 350 passengers arriving or departing passengers per hour. • There will be additional airline and airport customer service staff deployed to man these temporary facilities

2010 Soccer World Cup Facts: • 32 Teams • 64 Games: • Gauteng - 21 Games • Western Cape - 8 Games • Eastern Cape - 8 Games • KwaZulu Natal - 7 Games • North West - 6 Games • Free State - 6 Games • Mpumalanga - 4 Games • Limpopo - 4 Games • Team base Camp Locations: (to be confirmed) • Gauteng (59%), KwaZulu Natal (16%), Western Cape (10%), North West (10%), Mpumalanga (3%), Northern Cape (1%), Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Free State (0%).
Information Outstanding: • Final Team Base Camp information now available • Finalisation of Team and VIP facilitation processes with LOC and FIFA • Finalisation of ticket sales indicating the volume of international spectator purchases • Confirmation of accommodation by spectator groups • Finalisation of airline slot uptake for the period of the world cup.
External Risks • Jet A1 Fuel Supply – The supply of fuel to replenish stock MUST be guaranteed throughout the period of the tournament • Public (Land)Transport Arrangements must be finalised - The national, provincial and local transport authorities must finalise their plans to transport fans from the transport nodal points to each host city airport, from the airports to the stadia, and from the stadia to airports in a co-odinated and organised manner • 24 Hour Service from ATNS – Air traffic Navigation Services must commit to being able to provide 24 hour service especially during the group stages of the tournament. • Security Threats – the risk of security incidents associated with hosting an global event of this magnitude
Conclusion • ACSA Airport operational plans are 90% complete and will continuously be updated as more information becomes available (e.g. Slot confirmation, Team Base Camp confirmation, Spectator accommodation) • The Air/Land interface ( facilitation of fans from the airport to the stadium and visa versa) This is a MAJOR CONCERN esp. In Gauteng where there are 3 metros who are not co-ordinating their efforts • Agreement that there be a deadline for slot acceptance by airline with punitive measures in place thereafter • The lack of information regarding ticket sales and from which countries the highest demands. • Long-haul land based transport plans (Intercity and Inter-provincial).
