Mafikeng Airport is back in business with regular flights to Johannesburg and Pilanesberg.

The airport was back in full operation with regular flights to OR Tambo International Airport and Pilanesberg Airport from yesterday (Monday).

Speaking during the official launch of the flight schedule at the airport, North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo said the move was part of the provincial government’s broader plan to reposition, rebrand and renew the province with special focus on Mahikeng as the capital city.

SA Express will fly from Mahikeng to Pilanesberg and OR Tambo International Airport three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Mahumapelo said that they were also looking at the possible introduction of flights between Mahikeng, Bloemfontein and Kruger National Park as part of enhancing the Maize Triangle’s strategic growth.
