The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has approved a conceptual framework for a massive aerotropolis project centered around a new runway and a dedicated logistics hub next to Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport.

Outlined in the Mandela Bay Aerotropolis and Logistics Gateway brochure, the plan is to create an intercontinental air gateway on 450 hectares of unused land southeast of the current airport. This will integrate air, sea, and inland port services to support sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and marine industries.

The plan was approved in principle at a recent economic development committee meeting, with acting trade and investment director Jeremy Dobbin presenting it. It revives long-standing ideas about airport-linked economic zones, inspired by successful projects like King Shaka International Airport's aerotropolis and KwaZulu-Natal's Dube TradePort. The Mandela Bay Development Agency will seek partners, funders, and advisors to lead the public-private partnership.
