Tambo International Airport）は南アフリカ共和国のヨハネスブルグに位置する、アフリカで最も忙しい空港です。ヨハネスブルグ市中心部から東に約24キロメートルのケンプトンパーク地区にあり、反アパルトヘイト活動家のオリバー・タンボにちなんで命名されています。年間約2,100万人の旅客を処理し、ターミナルAとターミナルBの2つのターミナルで国内線と国際線を運営しています。南アフリカ航空の主要ハブであり、アフリカ大陸への航空ゲートウェイとしての役割を果たしています。ハウトレインの高速鉄道がサントン経由でヨハネスブルグ市中心部まで約15分で接続しています。空港は海抜約1,700メートルの高地に位置しているため、離陸距離が長くなるなど航空機の性能に影響を与えます。アフリカ大陸全域への広範なネットワークを持ち、サブサハラアフリカの主要な乗り継ぎハブです。長距離国際線ではヨーロッパ、北米、アジア、オセアニアへの直行便を提供しています。
