Measured from the Evaton reference coordinate, O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) is 59 km away and Lanseria International Airport (HLA) is 67 km away (whereas the two airports sit 39 km from each other). Because a 8 km difference in distance from Evaton is small relative to the onward drive, compare airline schedules, car-hire availability, and actual highway routes from both terminals before booking.
The third airport in the table, Bram Fischer International Airport (BFN) at 323 km from Evaton, sits in a much more distant catchment and is not as convenient as JNB or HLA for a direct transfer.
Our 36-airport directory also includes Rand Airport (QRA) at 44 km (No regular flights listed) and Brakpan Airport (FABB) at 56 km (No regular flights listed) and Springs Airfield (FASI) at 63 km (No regular flights listed). Because those airfields do not have confirmed regular passenger flights in this snapshot, they are listed separately below rather than ranked as standard airline options.
