Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has launched a new mobile App in order to enhance passenger’s airport experience in SA.

ACSA’s new airport App for travellers

ACSA recently unveiled a brand new mobile airport App to make passenger journeys more efficient. The new App allows passengers to get all the information they require when travelling through SA airports.

Called “ACSA App”, the airport App was launched at the beginning of July and is available to download for free from the Google, Apple and Huawei mobile App stores.

According to ACSA, the registration process is easy and they have also taken into consideration the Protection of Personal Information Act (Popia) and data privacy, so that passengers can register by using their email address, Google details, Facebook or Twitter accounts to safely sign up.

Some of the features

Mthoko Mncwabe, chief information officer for Airports Company South Africa, said that the App, which was designed to make the passenger airport experience as easy and hassle-free as possible, has considered the needs of their customers when getting ready to take a flight.

Mncwabe also revealed that users will be able to view and search for flights by airport or use advanced search to get flight information for future flights. According to IOL, he said that this functionality also allowed passengers to subscribe to a flight in order to receive notifications on their flight status.

Travellers can also reportedly pre-book parking at OR Tambo International Airport and pay for parking tickets easily by using the app. By saving vehicle and card details, access and payment for parking can become a much simpler process. You can also save your vehicle’s location, so you won’t have to remember where you parked!
