Foster said a survey had shown that 75 percent of respondents in Johannesburg's northern suburbs and areas such as Centurion, Midrand, the West Rand, Brits and Thabazimbi would find Lanseria more convenient than a long drive to Johannesburg International.
This will be a good thing for AirLink. Maybe they'll even add another route or two. Good for Lanseria too, much more user-friendly than what Smuts is. Easier parking, not such a huge terminal where you walk for hours to get to your gate (that's if you dont use the conveyor belt), followed by a bus ride to the plane. And, last but not least, less chance of holding at LAV due traffic as is the daily scene at JNB.
