Plan to turn 13 farms into a new R22 billion international airport in Gauteng

A major step forward has been taken towards the development of the Vaal Aerotropolis, with the Sedibeng District Municipality approving the environmental authorisation application for the first phase of the project. The project, valued at R22 billion, is expected to create 18,000 jobs, both during construction and once operational, and will establish the core airport infrastructure capable of handling 7.2 million passengers annually. This significant investment is a major boost to Gauteng's economic growth and development.
