Lanseria International Airport -the success story continues

When travelling to Gauteng by air, I always try to avoid the mad rush usually experienced at OR Tambo airport. I rather use Lanseria airport because it is much quieter with much less passenger and road traffic. My last visit to Lanseria was in July this year, 3 months before this revisit for the border post tour. It is amazing how much has changed at the airport in just 3 months.

Lanseria airport was first used in August 1974. It is continually upgraded and improved and today it has several scheduled domestic flights to and from Cape Town and Durban by Kulula and Mango airlines. There are no scheduled international flights, but it is very popular for private and chartered flights from international destinations. The rich and famous often use this airport to escape the attention of the masses. 

Approximately 3 million passengers per year pass through Lanseria with ease and comfort. There are plans to upgrade it further without doing away with the comfort and relaxed feeling. The management is very aware of the reasons for its success and plans to maintain and improve on it.
