ATNS suspension of flight procedures cripples travel at Kruger International Airport
The Star
|October 20, 2025
THE Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) says it could take at least two weeks to restore suspended Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA), a move that has severely disrupted air travel and tourism just as South Africa's holiday season begins to peak.
AVIATION company Airlink has raised alarm over ATNS' recent suspension of additional IFPs affecting KMIA, compounding the impact of a broader nationwide suspension of 226 IFPs since July 2024. SUPPLIED

Aviation company Airlink has raised alarm over ATNS' recent suspension of additional IFPs affecting KMIA, compounding the impact of a broader nationwide suspension of 226 IFPs since July 2024. That suspension followed ATNS's failure to submit paperwork required to renew the procedures' validity, and more than 200 of those remain withdrawn.
The Kruger Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism (KLCBT) has echoed Airlink's concerns, warning that the ongoing suspensions-part of a mandatory recertification process under the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA)-have triggered widespread flight delays, diversions, and cancellations, disrupting the travel plans of thousands of passengers.
The situation comes amid heightened safety concerns, with SACAA's Accident and Incident Investigations Division (AIID) confirming it is collecting evidence from three recent plane crashes linked to poor visibility. The wreckages were discovered in Barberton, Mpumalanga, and the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

Building Africa's startup ecosystem requires grit, trust and corporate courage
THE stories of startups in Silicon Valley often start in garages with founders backed by easy access to capital and forgiving safety nets. In Africa, the reality is very different. Entrepreneurs on the continent aren't innovating from the top of Maslow’s hierarchy, but at the base, solving urgent, everyday challenges where failure can mean families go hungry. That makes African founders some of the most resilient in the world, but the capital environment rarely matches their ingenuity.
