AIRPORT
– BOUNCING BACK AFTER COVID Rand Airport in capitalising on its excellent location and facilities to lead the post-Covid recovery in general aviation. RAND AIRPORT’S MANAGER, Stuart Coetzee, says that in March 2022, the airport’s operations levels were almost back to pre-Covid levels. Rand is a busy airport, it hosts air charter operators, flying schools and a number of aircraft maintenance organisations, technical training organisations as well as pilot shops and other enterprises.
demanded payment, otherwise electricity would be suspended The Covid pandemic impacted general aviation hard – and Rand had its fair share of the economic damage. A number of longestablished businesses such as car rental companies closed shop and many tenants struggled to pay their rent. Sympathetic to their plight, the airport management provided a rent holiday and is helping tenants bring their accounts up to date. Large companies moved out and refused to pay the last month’s rent nor the notice period penalties.
no vacant hangars and all office space is fully let
Under the Covid lockdown, all income generating activities such as landing fees, fuel sales and to a lesser extent parking fees, dried up overnight. In addition the following month tenants stopped paying rent and a number of owners stopped paying their utility accounts. To make matters worse once the restrictions were relaxed and general flying picked up, the fuel supplier reversed the payment agreement of 30 days and demanded payment before accepting an order. Ekurhuleni did not provide any relief, instead it increased the rates and taxes and electricity tariffs and

Even though the threat of further Covid lockdowns may be receding, there is at time of writing, concern that a fifth wave may push back the recovery. Fortunately, the airport’s finances are healthy, due to the development of an industrial park to the south of the threshold of Runway 29 which has provided some much needed income. Development is proceeding swiftly with large warehousing being erected

scale roof mount solar system to reduce the airport’s dependence on Eskom and vulnerability to load shedding. A key challenge with an airport solar system is to ensure that the glint and glare from the solar panels will not affect pilots landing and taking off from the airport.
Demand for the airport facilities remains strong. There are currently no vacant hangars and all office space is fully let, with a waiting list. This is not only due to the strong recovery of the aviation businesses on the airport, but the move of large operators from other airports around Gauteng to the more friendly, affordable and central environment that Rand provides.
However, the recovery in 2022 has not been all plain sailing. Notable problems have been the BP fuel being below specification saga which limited airport operations. Many operators suffered losses including charter companies as a result of this fiasco. Puma Energy came to the rescue with a load of fuel to replace the BP fuel. Stuart Coetzee says that their fuel demand is large enough for the airport to be seeking a second fuel supplier. The large increase in the cost of fuel, to near 20 % over just the past three months, is also impacting flying.

Other challenges relate to the weather, which has been particularly wet and with strong winds. The airport features a top-class air traffic management capability which makes it a safe and popular choice for flight training schools. So far, the air traffic management has not been impacted by staff shortages at ATNS. The airport is proud of its safety record with no fatal accidents having happened over the past seven years – despite the large number of movements, which average between nine and eleven thousand per month and are back to pre-Covid numbers. The airport hosts the large annual Rand air show which plays a vital role in introducing aviation to the masses, particularly the underprivileged. It is hoped that this key airshow will be restored this year and hopefully the fifth wave will not impact the show planned for Sunday 4th September this year.

General Manager Stuart Coetzee - a steady hand on the wheel.
Held on a Sunday, the Rand Airshow is a great outing for the whole family to enjoy flying.
The ownership consortium has embarked on a revamp campaign, emphasising; “It has the potential to become the complete integrated Airport Park,” which will include hotels, shops and an industrial park. This will be on the site across the road known as the Golf Course site which will be done without impacting the main purpose of Rand Airport, being an airport providing access and facilities to the aviation community. The infrastructure done at Extension 7 is a prime example of the ongoing development and the new roads and street lighting is a showpiece and a sign of what is to come. The airport has proven to be a tremendous investment for its owners with some suggesting the initial R18 million purchase price might today have been transformed into a value of well over R500 million. There were originally
23 private shareholders in 2000 and there has been very little change. Over the past 22 years the ownership of the airport has been remarkably stable, a testimony to how well the original ownership structure was conceived and assembled. The ownership of the airport is unique in that all the hangars are owned with full freehold title. When the airport was bought in 2000, some of the hangar tenants elected not to buy their hangars, as a result these are owned by the Airport Holding Company and are let to tenants, providing essential long-term income for the management and to finance the up-keep of the facilities. The demand for space at Rand Airport has increased dramatically over the last 18 months with large organisations taking up occupation. j
