Johannesburg Tambo JNB Airport Overview

Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport JNB, or simply referred to as ORTIA, is named after the former President of the African National Congress Oliver R. Tambo, and is South Africa's primary airport. ORTIA is situated on a high plateau, 1,694 meters above sea level. This necessitates U.S. flights to make a refueling stop before continuing on to ORTIA, but enables them to return non-stop.

The Airport is located 1,700 meters above sea level, in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng Province, a 20-minute drive to the City of Johannesburg, South Africa, and is accessible from the R24 Airport Freeway (via N3 Eastern Bypass) and from R21, which intersects with R21 & the Tampo Airport Highway. i

With two very long runways and an average of 18.6 million passengers for year 2010/11, Tambo Internatonal Airport is hub for South African Airways, and is served by a multitude of domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

The on-Airport Sun Intercontinental Hotel is only 30 meters from the arrivals door at Terminal A.

The Passenger terminal complex at Johannesburg Tambo Airport consists of a Central Terminal Building with central passenger check-in areas, and inside connections to the Domestic Terminal B (TB) and the International Terminal (TA).   (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)

Other parking options at Tambo International: (For more information, please refer to 'Airport Parking' page.)

Rental car counters for 9 rental car agencies are located in the ground level of Terminal B, and rental cars are in the parking garage across from the terminal.

To get from Tambo Airport to your destination you can rent a car (rental cars desks are located in Parkade 2), or take a taxi, a bus or a train:
1. Five bus lines by Metrobus & Putco stop at the Airport twice a day, in the morning and evening.
2. The Transit terminal houses the Gautrain station connecting to the Sandton, business districts - also an important tourist area. 3. Further construction is to expand the connection to Pretoria.
