OR Tambo International Airport Background and History

OR Tambo International Airport (formerly Johannesburg International) is situated 24 kilometres East from the Johannesburg city centre and a quick drive by shuttle or taxi to your hotel or destination.

The airport’s name was changed from Johannesburg International Airport to O.R. Tambo International Airport on Friday, 27 October 2006, the late Mr Tambo’s birthday as a tribute to one of the new South Africa’s most important founding fathers.

OR Tambo International Airport is the busiest airport on the African continent. The airport serves transport hub of Southern Africa catering for more than 17 million passengers each year. Tight, effective management makes OR Tambo International one of the most cost-effective airports in the world, and has overtaken Cairo in terms of passenger traffic. ORTIA hosts over 50 airlines airlines from all five continents and has an important role to play in serving the air transport needs of Africa as a whole.

A massive multi-million construction project is currently underway at ORTIA to cater for dramatic passenger number increases expected during the 2010 Soccer World Cup, and for the imminent arrival of the giant A380 aircraft. The R450-million terminal development is accompanied by a R400-million upgrade of adjacent aprons and the road network feeding the airport. With more than 18,000 people employed by various companies at ORTIA, the airport plays a vital role in the city's and Gauteng province's economy, and boasts an impressive infrastructure that has expanded by thousands of square metres from its modest origins.

Oliver Reginald Tambo, fondly known as O.R. by his peers, is renowned in South Africa and abroad for his significant contribution to the liberation of South Africa. He was president of the African National Congress (ANC) for 30 years and spent much of this time in exile, mobilising international support for the ANC and opposition to the apartheid movement.

Tambo has been described as the glue that held the anti-apartheid movement together during its toughest struggles. He was a relentless lobbyist for South Africa’s freedom. His efforts helped create awareness of the plight of black South Africans, which eventually led to widespread international embargoes.

“There is no one more deserving of such an accolade than Mr Tambo and ACSA is honoured that our flagship airport, our international gateway, has been chosen to bear his name as a tribute to him,” says Monhla Hlahla, ACSA’s Managing Director.

On 24 April 1993, Oliver Tambo died from a stroke, having fought for the freedom of his people for the best part of his life.
