the evening of 30 April 2010.
World Routes 2015 delegates enjoy their VIP tour of Durban
Airport. Every year, the airport holds an event celebrating the Zulu
warrior King Shaka. In order to prepare for the move to the new
airport, the management team visited London Heathrow’s Termi-

made, and showing how Durban could do it better.
