Johannesburg: OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) operating normally amid ongoing e-hailing strike!

Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has confirmed that operations at OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg remain unaffected by the ongoing e-hailing driver strike. Despite the protests disrupting e-hailing services in the city, passenger movement at the airport continues without interruption. To ensure safety and ease of travel, ACSA advises all travellers to use accredited and authorised transport services when arriving at or departing from the airport.

The ongoing strike - led by frustrated e-hailing drivers - centres around demands for fairer commission structures, higher per-kilometre fares, and industry regulation to address growing economic strain. Drivers have raised concerns over unsustainable earnings due to high commission fees, fuel prices, and permit delays. While services across Johannesburg have experienced delays and cancellations, operations at major transport hubs like OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) remain stable and secure.

Travellers departing from OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) are reminded to:

• Arrive at least 2 hours before domestic departures
• Arrive at least 3 hours before international departures
