PLAN YOUR ROUTE BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ⚠️

Several roads around Waterkloof are closed for the duration of AAD2026. Check these before you set off:

🚧 R21 and M10 (Solomon Mahlangu Drive) - hard lock where the R21 meets the M10, affecting traffic coming from Kempton Park
🚧 Veldpou Street, near Sasol Dastek - hard lock in place *E-hailing ONLY
🚧 Trichardt Road and Kruger Avenue - hard closure at the intersection, affecting traffic coming from Centurion
🚧 Pierre van Ryneveld and Solomon Mahlangu Drive - closed

Your GPS won't know about these. Give yourself extra time, follow the marshals and signage on the day, and consider leaving the car behind altogether - the Gautrain shuttle and Park and Ride points bypass the worst of it.

What legacy are we building for the future of South African aviation? ✈️

In this month’s CEO Letter, “A Legacy Worth Building,” CAASA CEO Kevin Storie looks at the choices facing our aviation sector — and what needs to change if we are serious about creating an industry that is not only safe, but economically enabled, competitive, and positioned for growth.

From competence in leadership and smarter regulation to stronger collaboration between industry and the regulator, the message is clear: we cannot build aviation’s future by remaining stuck in the past.

As Kevin writes:
“Every competent appointment builds confidence. Every constructive partnership creates momentum.”

During Women’s Month, we sat down with several women from across South Africa’s aviation industry to hear their stories, experiences, and insights. ✈️

From the paths that brought them into aviation to the challenges they have encountered, the lessons they have learned, and their perspectives on how the industry is changing, each conversation offered something different.

Among the women who shared their insights with us were Bonolo Matjila, Business Development Lawyer at Dentons South Africa; Joy-Ann Smyth, Quality Manager at Federal Airlines; and Phillippa Dean, Editor of African Pilot Magazine — alongside several other women working across our industry.

Their roles may be different, but together their stories provide a fascinating look at the people and perspectives helping to shape aviation today.
