Airlines on this route that have made efforts towards improving their sustainability record include Hahn Air Systems which has set up afforestation projects to help offset carbon emissions and South African Airways invested into research to help production of sustainable aviation fuel.

  • How can I access downtown Johannesburg from O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB)?
