King Shaka International Airport

Before i flew there recently, i had last been there in 2019, and so had mostly forgotten how it looked like. The airport looks old and worn, at least through my eyes, and for an international Airport, the standards don't seem that high. The staff was kind and helpful, which was a plus. The size is decent, a bit on the smaller size, but decent. I wasn't impressed by the runways though. They do require lots of attention, because there was too much old paraphernalia lying about, with uncut grass giving the runways an unkempt look. The plane also has to taxi for a good 5 minutes before it can take off. I guess the mantainence is not world class,but it was an otherwise decent experience there

Small international airport and great for travel within SA. If you have minors or grandparents traveling solo, they won’t get lost at this airport as it’s easy to navigate. Unfortunately the water crisis had hit KZN badly, including the airport and buckets of water were being provided to flush the toilets during my recent trip there. Besides that, the airport is clean, small and a great facility to get you to Johannesburg or Cape Town.

The signs are pleasantly clear and easy to use and direct you to where you need to be. The airport feels mildly dated / run down which explains the 4 stars. Not a bad experience.

Always a pleasant experience to arrive in the Shaka Airport, not the correct name, clean and busy but enough space to move with ease. Lots of shops and everything you need for a international Airport. A lot of bug brand car hire companies a short distance walking. Clean and covid rules are adhere to.

A very pleasant experience. The airport is neat and fully air-conditioned all around. The food court has plenty seats and quite a few take out options, should you need something to suffice your hunger. Shops themselves are quite pricy, mostly imported goods and brand names.

It was my first time experience to board an aeroplane , we were supposed to depart at 6:15, we ended up going out at 8:30. Saysafair airline is very much comfortable .

It's was quite disappointing for Safair passengers that arrived on the 11am flights on the 15/11/2022. The pickup zone was closed without any sort of notifications stating passengers must catch their rides on the street outside the entrance of the pickup zone. The staff was loafing around the entrance having fun. Nobody bothered to let the people know why the drop off was closed. This caused chaos on the street. After a long time I found out the pickup zone was closed in order to have an opening ceremony for new ticket boxes that was installed. Is this how international airports operate in South Africa?

Always loves this airport cos of the cleanliness and friendliness,the exit part is currently being worked on however there is another exit from the airport.I had to take pics from the food court as I wait for my flight

Parking is always a breeze and appreciate the Swissport crew. Thanks FlyCemair, 1st time propeller plane flight experience and the landing was absolutely soft! Cons -1 star here Mobile networks data coverage/ signal issues - When is this getting resolved? - It has been going on for ages already, 1 can't use data services in the airport building and close vicinity. The Woolworth's store is a gem, you can't forget essential essentials because you literally walk out into the store - Flowers - Wine - Flops

The experience was fascinating for horror and adventurous visuals. The snakes are not that scary because they are in a glass house. Beautiful place with lots and lots of activities, including the beach.
