South Africa is leading the continent's aviation recovery with record-breaking passenger growth, overtaking several other African nations. At the center of this surge is O.R. Tambo International Airport, which now holds the dual titles of Africa's Busiest and Best Airport. The Johannesburg hub recently achieved a post-pandemic milestone, processing over two million passengers in a single month for the first time. This significant uptick reflects a strong rebound in both tourism and business travel, cementing the airport's position as a critical hub for regional and international flights.
