Developed and operated by the Gauteng IDZ Development Company, the OR Tambo International Airport Special Economic Zone is competitively located at or in proximity to OR Tambo International Airport. In support of its competitive location, the value proposition of this SEZ is centred around the service offering of OR Tambo International.
