Well done North Korea, someone give Kim Jong-Un a hundred gentle pats on the back and congratulate him heartily. This new airport does look rather impressive.
It seems everything does go full circle. Just as the SLOW lounges at SA airports became the coolest place to hang before flights, the poor-man’s alternative (Bidvest) began emptying out. And now look what’s happened.
You would think when you find some unknown graffiti on the underside of a plane a security sweep would make sense? It did to these crew, who refused to fly.
At least you don’t have to deal with Eskom’s inadequacies whilst flying mile-high, right? Well what if you can’t get off the ground in the first place…
Everyone has their breaking point, and it seems like Halle Berry’s husband reached his after he lashed out at Los Angeles Airport under intense paparazzi pressure.
Welcome to one of the strangest airport setups you will ever encounter. A place where cars and planes coexist in harmony along the same stretch of road.
Avoid the spontaneous and controversial WiFi network names, rather just go with something conventional and childish.
Like a scene out of a heist movie, a band of crooks hit a cash-in-transit vehicle as it left the cargo area of OR Tambo International airport.

The fussy readers out there who lose their minds over a missing deelteken here and there will be very pleased that this post has minimal writing, and is all about one picture. A 2oceansviber sent in this pic – taken at OR Tambo airport. It’s so good.
Cop shoots people and kills himself at Cape Town International. Apple and Beats – it’s official. Cops bust transporting poacher. Former Chiefs player and TV host dies. Man United owner dies. Pings not from MH370. Eugene De Kock might be released. Tiger is out.
The Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) have spent the last 10 years building new airports across the country that cost a lot of money, which are being paid for in the form of airport taxes.
There are a lot of rich folk working at Google – and many of them have had to suffer extreme inconvenience simply because Google could not offer them a space to park their jets. Until now.
Honestly – do people not know that CCTV cameras see everything? Apparently not. In the latest episode of ‘smile, you’re on CCTV,’ 22 year-old Dinara, from Turkey, attempts to sell her baby at an airport for R5,000.
77-year-old John Wildey was the only passenger aboard a Cessna 172 flying from Skegness to Sandtoft Airfield, near Doncaster, when the pilot fell gravely ill and passed out. John naturally did what any true legend does and landed the plane himself, completely in the dark.
Twitter has exploded with videos and images of # 1 selling pop star Justin Bieber, as he cruised into Cape Town yesterday. He has already had a ‘braai’ and kids are camped outside his hotel.
Whoopsie. Here we have the classic boarding gate near miss scenario, combined with your standard government official self-entitlement complex, whipped into a beautiful medley of foot-stomping. After Yan Linkun (a mining company executive and CPPCC member) and his family arrived late for their flight back to Guangzhou from Kunming Changshui airport, it wasn’t the end of the world […]
Lanseria International Airport has just been sold to a new consortium of investors, it was reported last night.
Flightradar24 has been around for a while now yet it seems that it’s slipped under the, er, radar, of many people. The flight tracking service gives you “real-time information for thousands of aircraft around the world” – you’ll never miss a flight, or an important airport pickup, ever again.

Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle from Roxette have called Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport “possibly number one on the list of the world’s worst airports.” This after their flight was delayed for about 90 minutes over the weekend. Read their full Facebook post inside.
When you think of an airport you’re likely to conjure up images of wide open spaces, cordoned off for kilometres, free of any midair obstacles, and normally you’d be right on the money. However, perched between two 6km mountains, Paro Airport in Bhutan is anything but normal.
This just happened at Cape Town International Airport. For the older folk, that’s “DF Malan Airport.” We are not sure how this happened but assume it has something to do with the driver wanting to avoid the airport parking scam. Follow the link to enlarge the photograph.
