An interesting place, construction started 1920 and by 1931 it was established as an international airport.If you are a novice to aviation the Harvard Cafe is where you can sit outdoors and enjoy watching aircraft arriving, departing and parking at the apron while consuming a meal or a drink.If you want to become a pilot or improve your piloting skills there are a number of flight schools that you can use to do so.There are many businesses all around the airport concerning aviation like: aircraft spares, aircraft refurbishment, helicopter maintenance repairs chartering, pilot gear like maps and charts, aircraft spray painting, hangars for parking aircraft, aircraft sales.
One of my all time favourite airports... FAGM. Whether you’re learning to fly, or wanting to relax a little at Harvard Cafe. Rand Airport is any Aeroplane Lover’s dream.In terms of flying, the airport is busy at times. But not having any airliners operating from the airport, gives new pilots a good range of skills to learn with relatively low waiting times.Runways are always in exceptional condition and facilities work well all the time.Friendly airport personnel and the Control Tower personnel are doing a great job.
Absolutely stunning, incredible food, awesome atmosphere, great staff, wonderful menu , I real must try - get away for fantastic lunch and live artists singing
Nice place to have a bite and see airplanes. Good food and friendly service. Live music
Yo the place is of more excellent, my kids enjoyed very much the service is extremely perfect, especially when a Manager keep on coming to us checking whether we are fine. Thank you so much.
Perfectly situated near all facilities and hiways, very central to most of the major shopping centres
Value For Money. Excellent Entertainment. Quality Of Food Can Improve.
African Skyline Absolutely an amazing experience.
Cool place. If flyings your game or you just in the mood for some refreshing drinks checking out the planes. Then this is definitely the place to go visit.
Good air port it is nice place and clean and safe a special for cars it is very safe
Relaxed and chilled vibes. I enjoy coming here a lot. Its my favorite place
The food was great at the restaurant, waiter was friendly but everything seem to take extra time to come. From milkshakes to burger, pizza, wrap.Another table complained that sushi had taken about an hour and a half.There is also a very large smoking area, with only the tables closest to the runway as non smoking. Doesnt really mean that youll have a smoke free meal.The aeroplanes taking off and landing was a real treat
Lunch at Havard, great, food & Service very good
We had a lovely evening, our sever Felix was attentive but didnt hover.Everything was perfectly timed and when the weather changed we were quickly accommodated by being moved indoors... Starters and mains were wonderful, and the small touches and attention to detail really made it an enjoyable evening.
For aviation enthusiasts, theres an aviation museum, flight schools, pilots shops etc
Nont enought toilets. No food fos sale, organisasion was very poorly done. Will never go again.
Had vegetarian platter today. Great!Service was great as well. Always a nice atmosphere @ Harvards. Always recommended
The food that we ordered was overdone gold.. l think twice before I go there again..Its is n nice place to visit with the kids for the airplanes and playground..Sorry thats my opinion...
Good food and freindly service 👌
The Harvard Cafe at Rand Airport has very good daily specials and a very reasonably priced menu. The food is good, caters for children and has a good atmosphere. A great Sunday lunch venue.
Always nice and secure.
Safe and clean surroundings at the parking bay when visiting Harvard Cafe
Its okay i guess it could be better as the live performances do not cater for all.
Awesome, except for the food. We asked for non chilly, and all we got was Chilly
Went to Havard for my wifes birthday ordered a seafood platter. After lockdown one would think that theyll make sure that customers are being served the best freshest food. Every thing on that platter was bland! The mussels stuck to the shell. Definitely pre lockdown stock! Cheese sauce had no taste. The freshest thing on that plate was the piece of lemon! Come on guys we all suffered through Covid UP YOUR GAME!!!
The music was brilliant... Sadly we had a very sad waiter at The Harvard.... Pity because I think those that are employed at this time should be grateful... Really cant stand bad service and then having to pay for it afterwards leaves me puzzled.
Great service, great prices, amazing staff, and good fresh food. Loved it!
Wednesday half price on all steaks.Had a 500g fillet and it was mouth watering juicy and tastefull.really good.Will see me again,on a wednesday of course.
Great place 👌
Unassuming cordial restaurant with lively bar on the runway. Soothing view and reasonably priced menu.
Rand Airport is an airport in Germiston, South Africa. It was constructed in the 1920s as the main airport for Johannesburg, but the city outgrew it and replaced the airport with Palmietfontein Airport in the late 1940s.
Love the music and its happy vibe.service excellent
The Havard Cafe: Great place to dine, nice food and drinks.. The place is kids friendly.
Havard cafe excellent service but no adherence of their Covid rules by the customers
Small airport compared to the international airports in South Africa. Mostly training happening from the airport (fixed wing and helicopter) . Highly recommend the Harvard restaurant pizza at the airport.
Great spot for drinking 🍸👌
Nice and pleasant place
Unless you are about to take a flight, a visit to Rand Airport by a member of the public would most likely comprise a meal at the Harvard Café which is the only restaurant on the airport. Their outdoor seating gives an excellent view of the airport from ground level. If you are looking for a quick meal there is also the Fly-In Café which specializes in fast foods and take-aways. For the aviation enthusiasts there are various flight schools, pilot shops and aircraft maintenance organizations to choose from. There are no ATMs available on the airport grounds.
Good food .Excellent service 👍
It was pure bliss...I loved everything there, and the ambiance was proper for a Friday.
Had a horrible experience with one of the Managers...Raymond...he actually slapped my cell phone out of my hand when I tried to take a photo of him not wearing his mask....in result damaging my phone...this after another complain of safety..
The Rand Airport is a complex with a number of specialed businesses. The Harvard Restaurant have a great atmosphere, live music, secure parking in the perimeter and the food is good. Next to the landing strip which lends a great atmosphere. It is also listed on its own. Well behaved clientele. At times there are air shows by Harvards and Pitt Specials etc.
Did flight training at Rand Airport and obtained my PPL(private pilots license)there
There is a big restaurant and you can watch the, airplanes take off and land.
Always a great place to go. Kids play area is a bonus. Food is good.

They need to reconsider their booking process. Spoke to Barry the Manager who just refused to accept constructive criticism. I was sent documents on email of which I could not print.My message virus alert. I was then asked to go to the website to print it, after being told I was the only one who complained, and was not provided with website details. Then further told that I should not have emailed my concerns I should have called. The manager Barry was rather rude and not all service orientated. Very poor listening skills indeed. You need to listen to customers at times Mr Barry. If you have been running the business for more than 25 years then you need to take into consideration alot has changed since then. I loved visiting this museum. Really disappointed in their attitude. We deal with children you need to be a little more accommodating.
My little get away close to home for the last at least 27 years now.From a student to now a Grandfather.
I entertain kiddies at Harvard cafe often the security at gate as well and Everyone is always Amazing!
Friendly staff, great service and an awesome vibe
