This makes no sense:
High and hot are certainly bad for aircraft performance, but this implies that humid air is better than dry air, when exactly the opposite is true. Dry air is denser than humid air. Hot air is always worse than cold air, so the "even in summer" bit makes even less sense. The worst conditions are "high, hot, and humid". RoySmith 14:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
The ANC-dominated Ekurhuleni metropolitan council has passed a resolution to rename Johannesburg International Airport the O R Tambo International Airport. [3]
It has not happend yet, so I am just putting it here. Gary van der Merwe 12:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Saying renaming Joburg airport Oliver Tambo can be 'offensive' is quite odd! I'm not sure anyone would find it offensive; maybe a waste of money, or an inconvenience, but he's a pretty well respected figure, no? Joziboy 2 March 2006, 11:58 UTC
Ah okay. I had no idea about the violence against civilians thing. People like Mandela only come about once in a hundred years, but we already have a million things named after him (the whole PE metro is named after him). I reckon we need to branch out. There's Beyers Naude drive etc, I don't think white freedom fighters have been forgotten? Joziboy 3 March 2006, 12:45 (UTC)
I can't believe the ANC wants to rename something after Tambo AGAIN! This is what they have named after him:
On the East Rand (Ekurhuleni) there is the Oliver Tambo Cultural Village, Tamboville.
And the Oliver Tambo Memorial Hospital
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Mokopane (Potgietersrus)
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Modimolle (Nylstroom)
And Oliver Tambo Avenue, Manemberg, Cape Town
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Joe Slovo (yes, he has his own suburb), Cape Town
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Pellsrus, Jefferys Bay
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Rustenburg
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Weltevreden
And Oliver Tambo Drive in The Leauges, Cape Town
And Oliver Tambo Street, Hospital View, Johannesburg
And Oliver Tambo Street, Kagiso Ext2, Jhb

And Oliver Tambo Street, Parkridge, East London
And Oliver Tambo Street, Tsakane, Jhb
And Oliver Tambo Drive in Seshego, Polokwane
And Oliver Tambo Street, Mohlakeng, West Rand
And the Oliver Tambo District (where you can find the easy-to-remember King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality) in the Eastern Cape
(I've used my GPS software to find this, and since its outdated (refers to Plokwane as Pietersburg) I suspect many more "Oliver Tambo" roads)- and I would just like to say there are more streets named after Tambo, than Nelson Mandela!
THIS IS CRAZY! They won't stop until we are living in the Republic of Oliver Tambo
...I think the best policy the Government should take, is NOT to repeat the errors of the past and NOT to give places / streets / buildings people's names. Like the King Senzangakhona Stadium in Durban. The poor tourists and int' media that'll have to pronounce, remember and spell THAT name.
- and this is why Jhb International is the PERFECT name - no history - no politics - no bad feelings. We have enough Tambo-named things already!

I don't think one should call Jan Smuts a "statesman" as this title is usually reserved (at least among Americans & Canadians who are majority wiki readers) to those politicians and civil servants whose actions have a positive lasting action. Smuts was racist and Facist therefore, could not be considered "statesman" so I changed it to the neutral "politician" which could be seen as bad, neutral, or good depending upon one's perspective.
I have a personal issue with the airport being named after Tambo, because of negative associations on the other end of the political spectrum, but the ANC and the Native South African majority seem to like him in spite of his actions against mostly caucasian civilians who didn't even necessarily agree with the government's racialist system.

A good article, however the destinations of the respective airlines needs a bit of attention. SAA does not fly to Pietermaritzburg, however SA Airlink does (I see Airlink is listed). Also there is no mention of Upington Airport. I suspect there might be others. Dglschapman ( talk) 14:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I've just removed a charter airline from the Domestic subsection of the Airlines & Destinations section, my reasons being that the airline in question doesn't operate any scheduled flights. The question is - should we be including charter airlines in this section, and if so, do we shove them with the scheduled services or give them their own subsection? Ron2K ( talk) 22:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Please take note of the following
Terminal name change to Terminal A and Terminal B
O.R. Tambo International Airport has made the decision to follow the lead of other international airports and make the terminals multi-use such that terminals can be used to process both international and domestic flights interchangeably. The benefit of making the terminals multi-use will allow the airport to be more efficient in the use of existing infrastructure, thus minimising the dependence on more construction of new buildings to create capacity.
Like other international airports with multi-use terminals, the international and domestic descriptors of the terminals will fall away at O.R. Tambo International Airport. There will still be two terminals, which will in future be known as Terminal A and Terminal B. Terminal A will extend from the Central Terminal Building(CTB) atrium to the north (previously the international terminal) and Terminal B will extend south (previously the domestic terminal).
For the foreseeable future the check-in counters in the existing international departures hall will continue to be used for international flights only, while the multi-use CTB departures facility will be used by both international and domestic airlines allowing those airlines with domestic and international flights to use the same check-in counters.
Airline check-in counter moves At the beginning of April 2009 when the new multi-use departures hall in Terminal B opens in the CTB some airlines serving international routes will move into the new facility. Among them are South African Airways which will process both international and domestic passengers from the new facility. Other airlines that will also be moving to the new facility include:
* Express and Airlink (which like SAA will process both international and domestic passengers from their counters) * UM – Air Zimbabwe * MD – Air Madagascar * WB – Rwandair Express * TC – Air Tanzania * QF – Qantas * CX – Cathay Pacific * MS – Egypt Air * MK – Air Mauritius
Check-in counter renumbering
The changes to the terminal naming and the multi-use terminal will necessitate the changing of check-in counter numbers in both departure terminals. They will have an alphanumeric numbering system. A three digit number will be prefaced by A or B depending on which terminal it is located in.
The counters in Terminal A (currently international departures) will be numbered from the south to north and those in Terminal B (currently domestic departures) will be numbered from the CTB to the south. The existing counters in Terminal B will be renumbered in preparation for the opening of the new facility at the beginning of April.
Implications for passengers Passengers and visitors will have to know which terminal their airline of choice is operating from. Passengers should obtain this information at the time of booking their tickets. To assist them the airport will be putting up temporary signs that show which airlines operate out of each departure terminal.
Passengers and visitors are advised that signage in and around the terminal will in the future no longer refer to domestic and international terminal. Signs will refer only to Terminal A or Terminal B. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.2.126.113 ( talk) 14:32, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
I note somebody replaced my maps with their own - no problem, since the new ones look good. If I may raise a suggestion - if a map or graph is worth including, it is worth being readable at first glance. There is no reason why, with careful placement, the long haul, short haul and domestic maps cannot be placed together. I have placed it in a manner which allows prompt reading.
Do we need to specify which airports are served? Why not just "Istanbul" or "London" rather than "Istanbul - Ataturk" or "London - Heathrow"? Yes, it is more accurate, but it makes the map harder to read. Also consider editting out parts of the world where airlinks aren't present - it will give you more space.

I have done a lot of research into where exactly the first Comet flight landed. The reference given in this article does not mention at which airport it landed. I have researched this extensively and the evidence points to Palmietfontein Airport - not at Jan Smuts Airport, and the reference #2 which I give in the Palmietfontien Airport article clearly states the fact. The text is as follows : "South Africa was the destination of the world’s first passenger jet service when a BOAC Comet 1 landed at Palmietfontein on 3 May 1952, the journey had taken just under 24 hours to complete. ".
Furthermore, the photographs to which the Palmietfontein Airport page links (Under the External links heading) show Comets parked on the apron at Palmietfontein airport. If one enlarges the photos, the signboard "Palmietfontein Airport" is clearly visible. See the photographs in these links : [ [4]] and [ [5]].

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
\bairport-technology\.com\b
on the local blacklistIf you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:17, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
O. R. Tambo International Airport. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Hello and Good day,
@
Trappist the monk and
Elisfkc:,
I have detected Vandalism (wrt replacing Citations with
WP:ADVERT links - from [
1] [
2] [
3] [
4] [
5] [
6].
I tried to revert/undo them - but it's not possible due to intermittent edits and only option I have is to revert back to an OLDER non Vandalised version namely [
this one], However doing so will also render your valuable edits null and void, I would thus like to request that you redo your edits after reverting the Vandalism. The vandalism has been reported to
WP:AVI
Thank You, --
