Plans are in motion for the potential renaming of Lanseria International Airport, with the City of Johannesburg backing the move to better reflect the airport’s identity and connection to the metro.

The proposed change is part of a broader development vision aimed at reinforcing Lanseria’s role as a key gateway to Johannesburg.

Situated on the northwest of Johannesburg, the airport is South Africa’s only privately-owned and operated international airport and has long been praised for its reliability and operational efficiency.

Various governmental departments held events to celebrate the International Day of the Boy Child.

The Gauteng Legislature hosted the inaugural Boy-Child Sector Parliament in Alberton, whilst the Department of Basic Education hosted an event to discuss issues facing the boy child.

The engagement seeks to empower and equip young boys to become responsible citizens and active advocates for a violence-free society.

Singapore's Changi Airport has broken ground on its fifth terminal, which is expected to be operational by the mid-2030s.

The new terminal will almost double the size of Changi Airport's existing area, which sits on 1,080 hectares of land.

This will allow the airport to handle 140 million passengers per year from its current capacity of 90 million passengers.

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says the decision to build Terminal 5 was due to the rising trajectory on travel over the longer term.
