The airport says planes are currently being refuelled from a mobile tanker.


The international hub says it picked up a fault on its optic fibre fuel system's control and communications. 


This, in turn, led to a system shut down. 


King Shaka says the problem's likely to affect operations and delay flights. 


But it says departures have been leaving on time this morning. 


The airport's urged passengers to contact their airline for more information. 


In the meantime, it says it's working with various teams and stakeholders to resolve the matter.
