QUESTION NO 855
Mr S C Motau (DA) to ask the Minister of Transport:
What consultation processes have been followed by Airports Company South
Africa on the setting of new tariffs? NW943E
REPLY
The new tariffs that became effective on 1 April 2014 forms part of a
Permission granted by the regulator in 2011. That Permission was granted
for the period 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2015 (5 years or financial years
2011 to 2015). In preparation of the Permission Application submitted to
the regulator for the 2011 to 2015 period, consultation with industry
bodies was required in order to agree to the anticipated demand and the
resultant capital expenditure programme. The consultation process took
approximately three months and was conducted with the representative
airline bodies, i.e. Airlines Association of Southern Africa â
predominantly airlines from the South African region - and the Board of
Airline Representative of South Africa representing international airlines.
