ACSA (Airports Company South Africa) Parking, Flight Info & Contact Details

ACSA, which stands for Airports Company of South Africa, is an airport management company that manages nine airports in South Africa as well as a few others outside the country. It first started operations in the southern African nation before moving to places in Asia and South America.

Headquartered in the Maples Office Park in Bedfordview, South Africa, the company was founded in 1993 by the government under the ministry of transportation. Prior to that time, the airports were owned and operated by the state.

The establishment of ACSA gave room for the airport management company to attract foreign investments, the first of which came in April 1998 when Italian airport management firm Aeroporti di Roma won a competitive bid to become ACSA’s strategic equity partner. It achieved this by paying R819 million for 20% of the company’s shares.

ACSA’s majority shareholder is the South African Government. Other share-holding firms of the company include G10 Investments, Telle Investments, Pybus Thirty-34, Up-Front Investments 64 and Lexshell 342 Investments Holding who together own 4.2% of its shares.
