An estimated one million people are expected to pass through ORTIA during the festive season.
Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has made arrangements to accommodate the anticipated rise in demand for parking at the airport.
“We have repurposed Parkade 2 North to accommodate and alleviate the pressure at the Central Pick up point in Parkade 2 South,” said regional general manager, Jabulani Khambule.
The variety of parking areas we have available within the airport is designed to cater to the various needs of our travellers, clients and customers.
The objective is to provide facilities that enable seamless usage.
These parking areas can all be used for the pick-up and drop-off of travellers or airport users, yet travellers are warned not to exceed the allocated grace period. Should they do so (exceed the grace period) then the normal parking tariffs will apply.

Passengers are reminded that the upper (departures) and lower (arrivals) roadways are strictly for quick pick-up and drop-off only.
Drivers may not leave their vehicles unattended because they will be clamped and an R2 000 fine imposed.
“We wish all travellers happy festive and safe travels, as airport management we believe that the repurposing of Parkade 2 North will indeed make the travellers’ experience more pleasant,” said Khambule.
“We estimate that the average pick-up and drop-off transaction can take up to five minutes. We advise passengers to take this into account as they plan their entry or exit from the airport.”
