History

The airport was founded in 1952 as Jan Smuts Airport, two years after the passing of the man, near the town of Kempton Park on the East Rand. It displaced the Palmietfontein International Airport, which had handled European flights since 1945. In the same year of its inception, it had the honourable distinction of ushering in the Jet Age, when the first commercial flight of a De Havilland Comet jet took off from London Heathrow International Airport bound for Johannesburg. 1952 (MCMLII) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Johannesburg International Airport was used as a test airport for the Concorde during the 1970s, to determine how the aircraft would perform while taking off and landing at high altitude. During the 1980s many countries stopped trading with South Africa because of the United Nation sanctions imposed against South Africa in the struggle against apartheid, and so many airlines had to stop flying to the airport. These sanctions resulted in South African Airways being refused rights to fly over most African countries, and in addition to this the risk of flying over some African countries was emphasised by the shooting down of a passenger aircraft over Rhodesia [2], forcing them to fly around the "bulge" of Africa. This required specially-modified aircraft like the Boeing 747-SP. Following the ending of apartheid, the airport's name and that of other international airports in South Africa were changed to the currently, politically-neutral names and these restrictions were discontinued. The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde supersonic transport (SST), along with the Tupolev Tu-144, was one of only two models of supersonic passenger airliners to have seen commercial service. ...

Airport Information

OR Tambo International Airport is regarded as a "hot and high" airport. Situated some 1680 metres above sea level, the air is thin. This has implications for the performance of aircraft at altitude. For example, a flight from Johannesburg to New York City, currently operated with an Airbus A340-300e, must stop in Dakar for refuelling, since the aircraft is not able to make the run on one tank of fuel. This is because of decreased performance on take-off from the airport, where an aircraft cannot take off fully laden with fuel, cargo and passengers, and must use a longer stretch of runway to reach take-off velocity. By contrast, the return leg of the flight from New York to Johannesburg used to be a non-stop 14-hour flight, with better performance of the aircraft in New York because the city is at sea level. The New York-Johannesburg flight was the second-longest commercial flight in the world in 2003, only after the Atlanta-Johannesburg flight, both operated by South African Airways. As SAA sees a market in West Africa, some flights to/from the United States now go via Dakar, Senegal. In aviation, hot and high is the ability of an airplane to operate safely from airports in very warm climates or very high elevations. ...

There are two parallel runways, which run north-south, and a disused cross runway. The western runway, 03L/21R, is over 4400m in length, making it one of the world's longest international airport runways. This is due to the aforementioned rarefied atmosphere problem - fully laden aircraft require a far greater length of runway to achieve take-off velocity at this altitude than they would normally.


During busy periods, outbound flights use the western runway for take-off, while inbound flights use the eastern runway for landing. Wind factors may cause numerous variations, but on most days flights will take off to the north and land from the south.


There are six terminals at the airport, but these can be broken down into three major areas: the international terminal; the domestic terminal; and the transit terminal. The transit terminal housed disused parts of the old domestic terminals. It has been mostly demolished in order to build a new Central Terminal, which will provide an indoor link between domestic and international terminals, as well as a central passenger check-in area and more gates.


The airport is likely to see the arrival of the new Airbus A380 in its first years of service, as Airbus has already listed the airport as one of the few destinations worldwide capable of handling the aircraft, and also because many international airlines operate long-haul routes to Johannesburg. For example, there are at least seven daily flights from London, most making use of Boeing 747-400s. The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, four-engined airliner manufactured by Airbus S.A.S. It first flew on April 27, 2005 from Toulouse in France. ...


OR Tambo International Airport also serves as grounds for the South African Airways Museum, a room filled with South African Airways memorabilia and which started as an idea by two fans of the airline until they could set it up in one of Jan Smuts International's buildings in 1987. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The development includes the expansion of the terminal with a new international pier which will be able to house the new Airbus A380 while also increasing capacity at the same time. The new international pier and the upgraded central terminal to house the Gautrain are both expected to be ready by 2010.

Renaming

In late 2005, a name change was proposed for the airport to Oliver Tambo International, after former ANC President and anti-apartheid activist Oliver Tambo, an apparent change to the precedent of neutrally-named airports. The name change was formally announced in the Government Gazette of South Africa on 30 June 2006, allowing a 30-day window for the public to register objections. The name change was implemented on 27 October 2006 with the unveiling of new signs at the airport. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Critics noted the considerable expense involved in renaming the airport, and the decision to use a politician as the name would be obscure, confusing and in some instances, offensive.
