Everyone,
Every time I read the name Jan Smuts (i.e. J'burg Airport) I tell myself "I'm probably mispronouncing it and should look it up." I can't find anything reliable online, so can someone tell me how that name should be pronounced? Jan or Jon or Yon? Smuhts? Smoots?
Thanks!
Al

Hi Al, Yun, as in yes with an 'un, Smuhts, as in smut with a 's. Jhb Int is now known as Oliver Tambo Int, or OT Int.
Cape Town Int was known as DF Malan, in the 'old days.
Cheers, Robin (Cape Town)

Be it known that Jan Smuts is now known as O.R. Tambo International (as Robin said) and that along with the name change the ICAO has changed from FAJS to FAOR.
regards Thomas
