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.
The management of OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) already reopened the upper roadway for passenger drop-offs in early October 2020.

Cape Town: Airport improves parking
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.]
