The Minister named a 7 member board, whereby two representatives from The Swazi Nation Land will be revealed on a later date.
Dlamini during her speech urged the new directors to perform their duties with utmost diligence. “While welcoming the new board, I thank the outgoing board for its work and generally a job well done,” she said.

Dlamini explained that SWACAA is committed to ensuring compliance with ICAO standards and recommended practice. SWACAA’s mammoth tasks are regulating the civil aviation authority industry in the Swaziland and further operate the country’s two airports, namely; King Mswati III International Airport and Matsapha Airport. Dlamini further added that SWACAA has the responsibility to maintain a qualified, cost sensitive and motivated staff.
