Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport and Addis Ababa Bole International Airport are the only African airports included among the world’s 50 best-connected aviation hubs in the latest global megahub ranking. Their inclusion reflects the role both airports play as major gateways linking African cities with international markets. Addis Ababa is particularly important to the continent’s aviation network because of Ethiopian Airlines’ extensive international route system, while Johannesburg serves as a major hub for southern Africa and long-haul connections. The ranking also illustrates the uneven distribution of aviation infrastructure across Africa, where a relatively small number of hubs handle a large share of international connections.
