OR Tambo Airport Hit by Operational Disruptions
Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) experienced significant travel delays on Tuesday, leaving many passengers frustrated. Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) reported operational disruptions that led to long queues and general chaos, particularly at security checkpoints.
ACSA acknowledged the issues and stated that domestic operations have largely stabilised. Efforts are now focused on assisting international travellers who are also facing delays. Technical teams have been working around the clock to resolve the underlying problems and restore full operational capacity.
What Caused the Delays?
While ACSA hasn't explicitly stated the cause of the operational disruptions, they have assured the public that technical teams are actively addressing the issues. The airport operator is hoping that services will be completely normalised by Wednesday morning. Other airports within the ACSA network are reportedly unaffected.
ACSA's Response and Recommendations
ACSA deployed an incoming shift to boost capacity and improve passenger flow. They are also urging passengers to proceed to security screening areas immediately upon arrival to mitigate potential delays. Passengers travelling through ORTIA are advised to check for updates and allow extra time for their journey.
