Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle from Roxette have called Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport “possibly number one on the list of the world’s worst airports.” This after their flight was delayed for about 90 minutes over the weekend.

Their comments were met with anger by some fans, who said a 90-minute wait was “not so long”. Roxette then replied back: “We love South Africa. You know that! But someone should fix the logistix at Joburg Airport.”
Airports Company of SA’s spokesman at OR Tambo, Unathi Batyashe-Fillis, said security surveillance footage showed that there were long queues at the emigration checkpoint when Roxette were leaving. But, he said the airport had not established why.
“Emigration [and immigration] services are provided by the Department of Home Affairs and, though Airports Company SA provides the infrastructure, we are not able to answer questions regarding problems at emigration.”
Batyashe-Fillis said the airport’s customer-care division was not told of Roxette’s departure and ground staff, appointed to assist celebrities, were not on hand.
