π¨ Important Customer Notice π¨
Delays expected at OR Tambo Immigration.
Customers travelling through OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg are advised to allow for additional processing times at immigration points for both departing and arriving flights.
This is as a result of the new Biometric Movement Control System (BMCS) implemented by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) and Border Management Agency (BMA) at immigration and emigration areas, which is currently experiencing delays, resulting in longer queues during peak times.
This may also affect international arrivals, baggage collection, and potentially lead to missed connecting flights.
We recommend that travellers proceed to the immigration area immediately after check in to minimise lengthy waiting times.
We apologise for any inconvenience that may be experienced.
