More delays expected at Cape Town International Airport

Further delays are expected at Cape Town International Airport today, following extensive delays due to runway problems yesterday. All domestic and international flights were delayed for several hours because of technical problems on the runway, and there will be further delays today as airline staff battle to deal with the passenger backlog. According to the Cape Times, a spokesperson for the Airport Company of SA spokesperson Deidre Hendricks says the damage to the runway was caused by environmental factors, but there have been reports that the runway was damaged by a cargo plane.
