Bram Fischer International Airport - Bloemfontein's port of entry

Although the airport in Bloemfontein is called the Bram Fischer International Airport, there are no scheduled international flights to the airport. Private and chartered international flights may land at the airport. The immigration officials who are based in town 10 km away, will then travel to the airport to process the passports of international passengers.

The domestic airlines Mango and SA Express have several scheduled flights to Bloemfontein on a daily basis.

The airport buildings are new and modern after recent upgrades to the value of R46m for the 2010 Soccer World Cup. On 13 December 2012 the airport was officially named Bram Fischer International Airport.
