About Johannesburg Airport

Johannesburg Airport is the largest and busiest not only in South Africa but in Africa as well. The airport caters for domestic and international flights for private and commercial travellers. Johannesburg Airport can handle close to 30 million passengers per year and flies to all continents except Antarctica. The airport undertook a big renovation process in 2010 and now houses even more retail opportunities in its terminal buildings which range from banks, salons, stores, restaurants, bureau de change and a pharmacy. Stores are open from 6:00 to 22:00. The onsite travel clinic has full medical staff available all day long. There are ample parking bays at the airport which has updated technology to allow guests to see which bays are empty. Parking can be paid for in cash or with credit cards. Guests can use the Gautrain or public/private buses to get to or leave the airport but many guests choose to go the car hire route. This is because there are many car hire OR Tambo companies to choose from to get the best deal on a rental car. Also car hire OR Tambo allows for guests to have the reliability and convenience of their own vehicle to get around in. It is also cheaper to hire out a car in Johannesburg along with the choice of getting the vehicle type you prefer.
