"The Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa) has made an application to the Justice Department for permission to set up its own in-house court at the airports.
MD of Acsa, Monhla Hlahla, said that they company was exploring the idea of having its own court to deal with criminal matters that take place at the airports.
"We've got unique issues here and you find sometimes that if you take the matter to the bigger courts they just seem really petty when compared to cases like murder. You find that an issue like somebody stealing somebody's purse gets thrown out of court," she said.
Having an in-house court would enable criminal matters to be dealt with quicker and easier, Hlahla said.
She said that the move is likely as the airports already have police stations.
"We could maybe get one of the main courts that are closest to the airport to have a smaller office at the airports," she said."
