Cape Town – Water supply at Cape Town International Airport has been fully restored following a temporary disruption caused by municipal infrastructure repairs, Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) confirmed on Monday.
The outage, which began on Sunday, affected several amenities and services within the terminal, prompting concern among travellers passing through the busy airport.
ACSA said the disruption was linked to infrastructure work taking place outside the airport precinct as part of ongoing municipal upgrades.
