The scheduled resurfacing of the main runway at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) was completed on 31 May 2007.

This 7 month project was carried out entirely at night thus ensuring that the work took place outside of the scheduled flight operations window.
 
"The just concluded runway resurfacing  project was a success story for Cape Town International Airport, as it took place quietly behind the scenes in what happens to be the airport's peak season with minimal impact on airport operations", said Cape Town International Airport General Manager, George Uriesi. 

"The airport now has a brand new runway for which we are thankful for the co-operation of our clients and stakeholders. We are also thankful to the contractors whose professionalism allowed us to deliver this project in line with the highest technical specifications and without a major hitch", added Uriesi.
