Rand Airport (IATA: QRA, ICAO: FAGM) 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 the larger Jan Smuts International Airport in the 1960s.
South African Airways has donated two Boeing 747s to the "South African Airways Museum Society" which are on display at the airport.
