Johannesburg: OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) reopens the open-air piazza parking area for pick-ups!

The management of OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg yesterday (21 October 2020) reopened the open-air piazza parking area for pick-ups by taxis, e-hailing services and public transport vehicles. According to the airport's spokesperson Samukelo Khambule the change will accommodate increasing passenger volumes. The management of the airport will also make more parking bays available from 01 November 2020 when Level 1 of Parkade 1 is reopened. The opening of the open-air piazza parking area was accompanied by the reopening of selected entrances on the ground level of the terminal buildings. Access to terminal buildings remains restricted to passengers in possession of a physical or electronic ticket. The latest changes also mean that Level 2 of Parkade 2 South is only for pick-ups by private vehicles. The first 30 minutes in Parkade 2 South is free.
The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) continues to control access to the upper roadway. Driver-only vehicles are not allowed onto the upper roadway.

Cape Town International Airport: Valet Parking makes way for airport expansion

Cape Town International Airport (CPT) has relocated the Valet Parking area from Ground Floor Parkade 2 to Level 1 in Parkade 1 in order to make way for new developments at the airport. The valet operation has outgrown the allocated space. The move makes provision for a larger area and should provide a better customer experience. Once the ground floor of Parkade 2 has been cleared, work will commence in the area to make way for a new Pick up and Go area. If all goes according to plan Pick up and Go will be relocated in March 2020. Cape Town International Airport (CPT) has invested R8 million on developing a new and improved valet area that was designed around customer centricity and the delivery of exceptional service levels. 
The relocation of the Valet Parking area forms part of the airport's broader expansion programme. The three main projects include a new International Terminal, a new Domestic Arrivals Terminal as well as a new runway.

Durban: King Shaka International Airport to introduce long-stay parking options

Durban's King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) is introducing long-stay parking options for its users. The airport has a steady growth in the last few months now of around 11% and also has the 1st domestic airline, Velvet Sky based in Durban. The airport has also received many accolades since it was launched and recently won the converted Airports Council International (ACI) and was placed 4th in the category Best Airport – Middle East /Africa and was placed 1st in the Skytrax survey as Best Regional Airport in Africa.
Since the grand opening of the airport in May 2010 there had many calls from the flying public to introduce cheaper parking options at KSIA. Bongiwe Pityi, AGM Airport Operations, said “We wanted to get our airport fully operational and now that have we took heed of the comments of our customers and we have now introduced the “Long Stay” parking option at the airport. We believe that this option will give our customers more choices for parking at KSIA and allow for a better parking operation and more convenience for the user.

  • The cheaper cost and comparisons to the other parking zones
  • 24 hour secured environment ( physical and CCTV)
  • 24 hour service operation at parking office – 032 436 6626
  • Alternate options of parking products

Cape Town: Airport improves parking

The pick up and go area of Cape Town's International Airport (CTIA) is getting relocated to the ground floor of Parkade 1 on 10 Dec 2010 and a long stay parking option will be introduced in the Shade net 2 area soon thereafter.
Airport users collecting passengers opting not to park will use the new pick up and go area in Parkade 1 where a free half an hour will be allowed for collection. If the half an hour is exceeded a sharply increasing tariff will be payable. This tariff is charged as a deterrent to ensure that users do not abuse the pick up and go area, but use it for the reason for which it is intended, to pick up and go.



The pick up and go area will be equipped with Flight Information Display Boards in the foyer of the parkade so that people collecting someone will be able to see the status of the flight. If a flight is significantly delayed it is recommended that users depart the pick up and go area and park in one of the parking areas available. The new pick up and go area is also significantly closer to the terminal building.
Long stay parking is another parking product that users who are travelling for an extended period of time can benefit from. Located in the Shade net 2 (to be renamed P4) area, this parking product offers users with an extended stay, such as parking the vehicle overnight or for a weekend, an area where their vehicles can be parked securely. The tariffs offer parkers a significant discount over the normal shade net parking if staying longer than two days. [src.]
