The South African Airways Museum Society (SAA Museum) is located at the historic Rand Airport in Germiston, Gauteng. Rand Airport was established in 1931 and served as the original base for South African Airways (SAA) from its founding in 1934 until the airline moved to Jan Smuts Airport (now O.R. Tambo International Airport) in the 1950s. The museum, founded in 1986, preserves the heritage of SAA and houses a collection of aircraft and artifacts related to South African civil aviation history. The site includes a preserved section of the original airport infrastructure, such as the 1930s-era control tower and hangars, which are considered heritage landmarks.
