OR Tambo International Airport is named after Oliver Tambo, who was the leader of the ANC for 30 years. Over 13 million passengers travel through this airport every year, and most International airlines in the world have flights to and from O.R Tambo airport.

Traveling by air within South Africa is not a problem. There are several domestic airports spread around the country in Port Elizabeth, East London, George, Kimberley, Upington, Pilanesberg, and Kruger Mpumalanga Airport, which is situated just half an hour away from the Kruger National Park.
Cape Town International Airport is a highly modernised airport with superb facilities and services, and it handles more than four-million passengers every year.
Well defined but I want to add something more about my city’s international airport. Cape Town international is the 2nd busiest airport of South Africa and third busiest in Africa. The most interesting thing is; it has won the Skytrax award for the best airport in Africa. It deals with number of domestic and international flights throughout the year. In short I would suggest to Cape Town international Airport whenever you book your flight to south Africa.
