Getting to and from King Shaka International Airport
King Shaka International Airport is at La Mercy, about 35 km north of central Durban, between Umhlanga and Ballito.
An airport shuttle bus leaves from beside the taxi rank roughly every hour and is far cheaper than a taxi to the beachfront hotels. Taxi drivers can be pushy about intercepting passengers on the way to the shuttle.
Durban's old airport, south of the city, is closed to commercial flights, so make sure any transfer booking names King Shaka.

Meeting a flight at King Shaka International Airport
- Check the board again just before you leave. Estimated landing times often change while a flight is in the air.
- "Landed" means the aircraft is on the ground, not that passengers are out. Allow time for taxiing, disembarking and baggage, and longer after an international flight with passport and customs checks.
- If a flight disappears from the board or shows as cancelled, the airline will have the latest rebooking information.
- Picking up a rental car? If your flight is late, contact the rental company before the desk's closing time.
