update (03 December 2025): ACSA has confirmed that the aircraft has been safely removed and the runway is now fully open. Normal operations are resuming.
Please continue to check the ACSA App and your respective airlines for any remaining flight updates.
Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has issued an important travel advisory for OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg after an aircraft experienced a tyre burst on one of the runways. The affected aircraft is currently being attended to by airline engineers, resulting in temporary single-runway operations at South Africa’s busiest airport.
With reduced runway capacity, flight delays and operational disruptions may occur throughout the day. Travellers passing through OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) are encouraged to plan ahead and stay informed.
ACSA advises passengers to:
- Arrive early at the airport to allow extra time for possible delays.
- Monitor real-time flight updates via the official ACSA App.
- Stay in contact with your airline for the latest information on schedule changes or potential disruptions.
This temporary measure aims to ensure operational safety while teams work to clear the runway and restore full airport functionality.
