thanx greg...always on the ball mate! that 14% growth in durbs is rather good and i'm surprised to see how many people went thru Jozi, wow thats alot. Is Jan one of the busiest months of the year in SA?

Jan is a pretty averge month for SA airports. Most peak around Dec and Arp/Mar. CPT is the only one that varies greatly between seasons (high in summer, low in winter).

so a 6% percent growth in CT summer isnt very good then?

Interesting to see 4 Egyptian airports in the top 12 - Cairo, Sharm-el-Sheikh, Hurgada and Luxor. Visited Egypt last year and must say that there are massive building projects taking place at Cairo and Sharm-el-Sheikh airports.
