The airport in the South African city of Cape Town has been named as the best airport on the continent in a customer survey by the consumer ratings organisation Skytrax.
One more of the female students abducted by militants from a secondary school in north-east Nigeria a decade ago has been rescued, the army says. Globally, Cape Town is ranked 54th. It has seen its position on the list drop in recent years - in 2020 it came 23rd.
The army said on Thursday that it had rescued the young woman, who is five months pregnant, along with her three children. Two other South African airports, Durban and Johannesburg, came second and third respectively in the continental listing.
The abduction of the 276 girls from their school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014 by Boko Haram militants shocked the world and sparked a global campaign to #BringBackOurGirls, which included former US First Lady Michelle Obama. The airport in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa was ranked seventh in Africa and Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport came 10th.
More than 180 girls have either since escaped or been freed from Boko Haram hideouts in Sambisa forest in north-eastern Borno state.
Some of the freed and rescued girls have returned home pregnant or with children.
About 90 others are still missing and are suspected to still be held by the militants.
