Deputy Speaker and hon Minister, I think the memorandum of agreement that has been signed between these three cities will go a long way if implemented correctly. It will go a long way in attracting a substantial segment of the world's urban travellers.
However, I must warn that there are certain impediments that may frustrate the desired outcomes as envisaged within the memorandum of understanding, and I think one of them, if I may identify it, is the huge landing costs of airlines at these major airports. How do you intend to address these high landing costs? It is one thing to invest money in marketing the three cities, but on the other hand, we will be discouraging chartered planes, for example, from landing at these very airports.
I had heard from my colleague earlier on that Airports Company of South Africa, Acsa, intends to increase the cost by about 166%. I do not know if that is correct. If it is true, then how are you going to address it? Thank you.
