OR Tambo International Airport (previously known as Johannesburg International Airport) is the major airport of South Africa and has flights to many destinations on all continents.

Domestic destinations within South Africa include:

and many other local destinations. Flights from most of the important cities in Africa and worldwide take place.

Some of the local airlines are South African Airways, British Airways (Comair), Nationwide and low-cost carriers 1Time and Kulula.com. South African Airways operates a worldwide network from OR Tambo International Airport.

There are daily flights to and from London, Paris, New York and other major international destinations.

Delta Air Lines runs flights from Atlanta via Dakar to Johannesburg as the only major US carrier to fly to Africa.

There are a lot of building works currently going on at the airport, including a new high speed train link to Johannesburg. The first section to Sandton in Johannesburg is due to be completed before the World Cup in 2010.

For anyone who arrives and looks lost there are a large number of official and unofficial porters in the arrivals halls and outside the terminals in the area connecting the International Terminal and the Domestic Terminal. The official porters have bright orange uniforms and navy-blue shirts, and carry ACSA permits. They work exclusively for tips: a general guide is to give R5 (five South African rands) a bag.
