"International"?

[edit]

How can it be an International Airport when it only flies to Johannesburg? Bezuidenhout (talk) 14:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is an international airport because it has customs and immigration service. Don't look only at scheduled airline services. At smaller airports such as this unscheduled charter operators, private and corporate aviation plays a much bigger role than at airports such as ORT which only serves sheduled airlines.

Polokwane not Pietersburg

[edit]

Polokwane International Airport FAPP is not the same as Pietersburg Civil Aerodrome FAPI. The first has coordinates 23°50′43″S 29°27′31″E / 23.84528°S 29.45861°E / -23.84528; 29.45861. The second has coordinates 23°55′33″S 29°29′03″E / 23.92583°S 29.48417°E / -23.92583; 29.48417. You can see the different airports on satellite imagery. cagliost (talk) 06:43, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the unsourced claim "formerly known as Pietersburg International Airport or Gateway International Airport".

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect FAPI. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. signed, Rosguill talk 00:44, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FAPB

[edit]

There are mentions of ICAO code FAPB on the internet. This is no longer an official ICAO code, however it was used for this location (FAPP) in the past, see [1]. cagliost (talk) 09:54, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
