O.R. Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) in Johannesburg is the air transport hub of Southern Africa, catering for more than 17 million passengers each year. With more than 18,000 people employed by various companies at O.R. Tambo International Airport, the airport plays a vital role in the city's and Gauteng province's economy, and boasts an impressive infrastructure that has expanded by thousands of square metres from its modest origins. 

OR Tambo International Airport (formerly Johannesburg International) is the busiest airport on the continent - and the air transport hub of southern Africa. The airport caters for over 13 million passengers each year, and employs some 18 000 people to keep its modern infrastructure and comprehensive services for local and international travellers running smoothly. Tight, effective management makes OR Tambo International one of the most cost-effective airports in the world. It has overtaken Cairo in terms of passenger traffic, and plays host to over 50 airlines.

In October 2006 the country’s flagship airport was renamed as a tribute to one of the new South Africa’s most important founding fathers. Oliver Reginald Tambo, fondly known as O.R. by his peers, is renowned in South Africa and abroad for his significant contribution to the liberation of South Africa. He was president of the African National Congress (ANC) for 30 years and spent much of this time in exile, mobilising international support for the ANC and opposition to the apartheid movement.

Tambo has been described as the glue that held the anti-apartheid movement together during its toughest struggles. He was a relentless lobbyist for South Africa’s freedom. His efforts helped create awareness of the plight of black South Africans, which eventually led to widespread international embargoes
