O.R. Tambo International Airport came into being in 1952 replacing the Palmietfontein International Airport of Johannesburg. Until before O.R. Tambo International Airport, Palmietfontein International Airport served as the domestic as well as international airport of the city of Johannesburg. Since its beginning, the airport seems to have been highly affected by political scenario of South Africa.
In 1952, the new airport was named Jan Smuts International Airport. Field Marshal Jan Smuts was a British and South African Commonwealth Statesman who played an important part trying to put racism in South Africa to an end. It wasn’t until the 1980s that Apartheid period led many countries to end trade with South Africa and forbid South African Airways to fly over their territories. By the end of 1980s, ended the Apartheid era, and South Africa gained back healthy relationships with other African countries. It was then that the airports in South Africa were renamed and this time, not after the names of any politicians. Hence, the airport became Johannesburg International Airport. This airport became Africa’s busiest airport in 1996 and with the regulation of airport naming policy, was renamed O.R. Tambo International Airport in 2006. Oliver Reginald Tambo was a South African leader who was rated 31st amongst 100 Great South Africans in 2004. Read More
