Normality restored to international flights in KZN

The glitches that recently interrupted the flow of international flights at the King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) in KwaZulu-Natal have been sorted out, according to Mmemme Mogotsi, the deputy assistant commissioner for communications and marketing at the Border Management Authority (BMA).

A few days ago, international travellers were delayed by the airport's malfunctioning biometric movement control system (BMCS) which reportedly processed a single flight in three hours.

The BMCS was introduced in 2022 at some of the biggest airports in the country.

Mogotsi said although the capturing of biometrics could be slow, the system yielded good results of a number of interceptions at most of the ports of entry.
