South Africa

O.R. Tambo International is the first African Airport to implement a Smart Security Checkpoint, offering passengers a new security experience embodying the South Afircan values of “ubuntu”. Aiming to implement solutions that extend well beyond current check-in, baggage drop off and boarding systems, the new security checkpoint empowers the vision to deliver great customer experience whilst encouraging innovation.

The Smart Security programme is going to enhance the airport’s global security ranking and enhance our ability to counter emerging threats at airports while increasing operational efficiency and improving passenger experience.
