The airport is in operation since 2002 with a runway of 3 km long and 60 meters wide. It can accommodate large jets such as Boeing 737, 747, 767 and Airbus. The impressive airport buildings have an African theme with grass roofs and decor that fits well in the bushveld area.
Airlink provides daily domestic scheduled flights to and from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, and internationally to Livingston (Zambia). Many private and chartered flights, local and international, also make use of the airport. SA Express, another domestic airline, will also provide scheduled flights shortly.
The airport staff, from operations to immigration, are proud and pasionate about 'their' airport and took time to show us around enthusiastically.
