South Africa's airport management body says it will reimburse hundreds of fans who missed a World Cup semifinal because of congestion at Durban airport.
At least 600 fans in six aircraft missed Spain's semifinal against Germany on Wednesday after an increase in private jets at King Shaka airport contributed to all the landing slots being filled.
Airports Company South Africa said Friday it has set aside 400,000 rand ($52,000) to be distributed to those affected.
It said this was a ''gesture of goodwill'' and not admission of any liability.
