13 million passengers passing its gates per annum. More than a million

More than 18 000 people work at the airport of which a large number

the airport. The recently completely overhauled airport building
is owned and managed by ACSA (Airports Company of South Africa).

| Departing from the new multi storey parking garage
at O R Tambo airport, one has only three choices in directions. The
R 24 will lead you to Johannesburg, while the R 21 will take you either
to Boksburg (S) or Pretoria (N). The obvious choice after a long flight
would be a stay over at
