With Johannesburg\u2019s popularity, it\u2019s no surprise that flights to Johannesburg are in high demand. \u2018Exploring Johannesburg\u2019 occupies one of the top spots for anyone who plans to visit South Africa. It\u2019s pretty obvious why \u2013 Johannesburg has a lot to offer. Sometimes referred to as Jo\u2019burg or Jozi, the trendy city has become a hot ticket destination for tourists, expatriates and even South African citizens looking for a change of scenery or location.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Johannesburg is not one of South Africa\u2019s capital cities. It is, however, the seat of South Africa\u2019s Constitutional Court. Jozi is South Africa\u2019s largest city and also one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world. The beautiful weather, fun attractions, historical sites, beautiful views and delightful cuisine probably got you interested in visiting Johannesburg in the first place. The opportunity to get close to lions at Lion Park, a chance to let loose at Montecasino, visit the Locrate market, grab a drink at The Living Room, have a burger at PataPata \u2013 are just some of the things that should have in mind on the next flight to Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Airports in Johannesburg<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It only stands to reason that Johannesburg would have one of the most beautiful and busiest airports in South Africa. Johannesburg\u2019s three airports are Grand Central Airport, Rand Airport, and O.R. Tambo Airport.<\/p>\n

The Grand Central Airport<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Grand Central Airport is located at Midrand, which is actually midway between Pretoria and Johannesburg. The airfield is small and privately owned; it is also open to public air traffic. The airport is opened 24 hours a day and does not require prior permission in order to land, only a radio call. The flights allowed to land are light aircraft only. It also serves a base for several flying schools in the area. The origins of Grand Central Airport dates back to the 1930s\u00a0when it was founded by motor racers who\u2019d taken up an interest in flying.<\/p>\n

Rand Airport<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rand Airport was built in the 1920 but officially opened on the 21st of December, 1931 to serve as Johannesburg\u2019s main airport. However, the Jozi outgrew the airport and replaced it with Palmietfontein Airport by the 1940s. Palmietfontein was then replaced in the 1950s with Jan Smuts International Airport (now known as O.R. Tambo Airport). It currently hosts several flying schools, pilot shops, and other aviation-related business. It hopes to become a complete airport park with hotels, entertainment facilities and shopping complexes in the near future.<\/p>\n

O.R. Tambo International Airport<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The O.R Tambo International Airport was originally called Jan Smuts International Airport, as mentioned earlier. It was founded in 1952 and has now become the busiest airport in South Africa and in Africa. With 18 million passengers annually, this should come as no surprise. With over 140 retail stores, banks, pharmacies, spa and various other shops, it aims to cater to your every need. The O.R. Tambo International airport is just an example of the first class service you will receive the minute you get down from your flight to Johannesburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
