update (28 December 2022): The management of OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg is encouraging all passengers traveling today to proceed to the airport in accordance with their flight schedules. There has been a rapid reduction in the processing time for delayed flights.
Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) earlier today (28 December 2022) announced that OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg is experiencing challenges with fuel supply from the fuel storage facility to the main hydrant system. This is impacting the refueling of aircrafts, so that domestic and international departures are currently experiencing delays. This left passengers waiting for hours for their flights.
Technicians are onsite and have resolved the issue. They are now monitoring the situation.
According to an update by ACSA on Facebook, the airport is succesfully clearing the backlog of flights that were scheduled to depart this morning. As far as we know, travellers at OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) have received no time frame as to when their flights will be restored. We'll keep you posted!
I have been in contact with ACSA Management & have been assured there is no fuel shortage at OR Tambo Airport but a technical issue at the storage which has been resolved.
