AIRPORTS Company South Africa (Acsa), responsibl­e for OR Tambo Internatio­nal Airport, announced that it has relocated public transport services at the airport to ease traffic congestion due to an increased number of passengers at the airport.

This comes as things are slowly getting back to normal and travel restrictio­ns are being lifted.

The parent company said increased passengers automatica­lly give rise to more vehicles on the road, causing congestion.

“OR Tambo Internatio­nal Airport constantly tries to find ways in which we can make the passenger’s journey a little easier and seamless as they come through our airport.

“One of the ways was the relocation of public transport operators such as e-hailing, shuttles and metered taxis,” said Acsa.

Acsa said these services are now available and accessible at the Central pick up and drop off, Parkade 2 – level 2 and that the designated area enables passengers to swiftly get into their preferred transport and effortless­ly leave the airport; as well as seamlessly be dropped off and access the terminal.

“Passengers that will be picked up and dropped off by their family and friends will still be able to do so on the roadway, quickly and hassle-free, said Acsa.
