O.R. Tambo International Airport (ORTIA)

O.R. Tambo International Airport (ORTIA), previously known as Johannesburg International Airport (JIA), is the air transport hub of Southern Africa, catering for over 17 million passengers each year (up from 12 million in 2002). It is the busiest airport in Africa and one of the 100 busiest in the world (www.airlinerworld.com). The ORTIA hub hosts 45 airlines from five continents. The Airport plays an important role in serving the air transport needs of Africa as a whole. The Johannesburg to Cape Town air corridor is one of the ten busiest in the world. The Airport is also part of an unique club, being one of the first airports to receive commercial flights of the Airbus' huge triple deck A380 super-jumbo aircraft. ORTIA’s runways were increased in width to make this possible and a special air gate had to be constructed for loading and offloading passengers..

ORTIA is, depending on traffic, located about a 45-minute drive from the Johannesburg's northern suburbs (e.g. Sandton & Rosebank). The Gautrain (rapid rail link) journey time from ORTIA to Sandton is 13-minutes. Africa Deluxe Tours can arrange either land or air transfers for our clients between their destination and O.R.
