Spotting Locations

The biggest airport in South Africa ranked second in Africa by passenger number. All local airlines (national carrier South African Airways, Airlink, CemAir, FlySafair  and others) and many carriers from Africa, Europe, Middle East, US and Australia fly to JNB. In the connected domestic and international terminal there are good viewing decks located in the landside zones. Both decks provide the views on the apron and allow seeing almost every aircraft movement. Spots outside the airport give an additional opportunity for good shots, but are generally not safe and require a car to get there.
