The OR Tambo International Airport Is A Master Piece A Proper Advert For Airports In Africa

Yes you are right. Seems like it is Barloworld's and Caterpillar's Head Office and Showroom. The building got an award in 2020 and was designed by Paragon Architects.

Great video. I have passed many times through OR Tambo and its definitely a First World airport. One can spend some hours airside checking out all the amenities. Plenty of restaurants, clean ablution blocks, great views of aircraft, spacious and well stocked lounges... And also bookshops where you can buy so many books on SA and the region; also some stores selling a wide range of curios and souvenirs of SA. In other African international airports, there are no bookshops or stores selling curios etc; only duty free shops selling the same old 'see it anywhere' stuff - Toblerone chocolate, Peter Stuyvesant fags, perfumes...

People are busy saying OR Tambo is the busy and number 1 .The Airport belongs to all SA citizens as SA government spends a lot for that OR Tambo Airport. Other Airports are Provincial no need of comparing as if Gauteng Premier Upgraded that Airport. OR Tambo is the most crucial Airport for International travel To and from South Africa ,please stop being childish.

Capetown n Durban are also international airports can handle international flights directly so yeah they can be compared. By the way Cape Town has been ranked as number these are views of the passagers, also you must take into account that the bigger the airport more troubles.

World standard airport, with all that it takes to be called an airport. Fellow Africans I urge you more especially those who are in authority to do the right thing when you are given an opportunity, emulate the South Africans who have the best infrastructure with nice architects, from Zambia.

@csa7189 3 ай бұрын

Looks very dated and claustrophobic. A few changes like an artistic open glass skyroof will bring in more light into the building and indoor plants. Also a lot of congestion of passengers at the international arrivals as there are two staff members at the passport checkpoint.

@nonibbs 8 ай бұрын

The Airport was opened in 1952. And its vast in comparison to its early days - which I remember! Families used to visit it for a Sundays entertainment and a nice meal. Now that would be an extremely tiring idea!A bit more explaining where you are would help a lot.

You chosen a VERY expensive parking spot! I parked in this same area in 2010 and they hit me R600 for the privilege! Nope, I am not joking! Others had the same experience, and the Airports Companies response was that people should read the cost of parking on the sign next to the gate, before taking a ticket from the machine. Try that with a line of cars behind you hooting for you to get a move on! Your cheapest parking spots are in those towers where the City Lodge is, but it is quite a walk to the terminal from there.

So you all are busy arguing about Cape Town and OR Tambo Airport. How can you compare these two?Capetown is Provincial and is rate as the best even though is small.Or Tambo is a Main Airport of SA it has to be big.The 4.5 billion rands that was used to upgrade OR Thambo Airport is South Africa money not Gauteng not Provincial as Capetown.

It's simple, on the restaurant floor, go up the escalators, you will see the Gautrain sign.

@@Livinginsatv Really easy indeed. My advice for the first timers: just avoid the touts in the arrival hall and take the escalator on your right. The trains sign is very easy to find. A second escalator takes you directly to the station.
