Road Closures and Traffic Restrictions Affect OR Tambo Airport During G20 Summit

OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) is implementing security measures and traffic restrictions ahead of the G20 Leaders’ Summit.

Arrivals Road and Parking Changes – Authorities have rerouted vehicles using the Arrivals Road to Parkade 2 North and South for drop-offs and pick-ups.

Passengers should arrive at least three hours before domestic flights and four hours before international departures to allow extra time for security.

Airlines and airport authorities urge travellers to monitor travel updates, plan ahead, and account for potential delays on routes to JNB.
