Swissport Opens Pet Lounge at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport

Swissport has launched a pet lounge at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Swissport Pet Lounge is located separately from other lounges, providing a calm environment for furry travelers, according to airport officials.

The lounge offers amenities such as air conditioning, water, and designated areas where animals can rest while waiting for their flights. Additionally, a dedicated zone is available for checking pets and their travel documents.

Specially trained staff manage the lounge, ensuring that the animals are cared for according to the regulations set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The staff also works closely with South Africa’s state veterinary service.

“Swissport Pet Lounge sets a new standard for animal care in South African airports, making their stay before a flight as comfortable as possible,” said Hangi Khoza, CEO of Swissport South Africa.
