Lanseria
Lanseria is a place northwest of the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the location of the Lanseria Airport, which is one of the four airports in this city, and the busiest in Africa in terms of aircraft movement per day. Lanseria Airport started out as a grass strip airfield in 1972, the brainchild of two Pretoria pilots – Fanie Haacke and Abe Sher.
The land was originally bought by Krugersdorp and Roodepoort Municipality together with the Transvaal Peri-Urban Board and contracted to Lanseria Management Company on a 99 year lease since 1972. The airport was officially opened by the Minister of Transport at the time, Hannes Rall, on 16 August 1974.
Soon after its opening, Lanseria Airport hosted the Air Africa ’75 (in 1975). This event was the first time South African buyers could select aircraft and the aircraft equipment from companies located in the US, Canada, UK, and France. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990 he was flown to Johannesburg landing at Lanseria Airport.
