One thing about this route
Johannesburg's O. R. Tambo International Airport sits 1,694 metres (5,558 feet) above sea level. The air is thin at that height, which is why its runways are so long. It opened in 1952 as Jan Smuts International Airport, took its current name in 2006, and has been Africa's second-busiest airport since 2020.
