It should be spelled Koffiefontein no Koffy!

Reply to @ptomblin: Not an answer to your question but some 'trivia' - On Lufthansa's Airbus 380 between Or Tambo and Frankfurt they consistently show the departure airport (Johannesburg) as Olifants River Bridge on their in flight maps !!!

Hi guys

Just to clarify, Mango (738's) and Comair (Kulula.com and the local British Airways operator with various 737 models) only have pilot bases in Cape Town, along with SA Express (CRJ2 and DH4Q) , SAA (738's) and SA Airlink (ERJ and Avro RJ's). This is not the 'home' bases of these airlines. All of them have the Head Offices in Johannesburg (OR Tambo International).

Its not a biggie, I know...but still, its more correct.

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me the length of the runway, and if a King Air 200 could land and depart from here. FABA.

Thanks

Simon

there are no scheduled flight to Springbok, you will have to fly to Cape Town and hire a car, or you have to charter a plane. Springbok is only a small town with a small airport.

Please can you send me the name and tel no of the restaurant at the airport.

Thank you

Reply to @Pivot: I believe in that case that David (the owner of this site) has been assigning arbitrary ids to airports that don't have an official designator.

Reply to @ptomblin:

I wrote the senior manager for aerodromes and facilities in South Africa and he says "Olifants is not a licensed aerodrome therefore I cannot confirm their locator". So there is no ICAO ident for this airport. Now what?

Im Daniel Phatshwane 24 years of age,I studied aircraft maintenance.I have lot of interest in this field engineering.Contact 079 554 2102,it would be an honour to work in this field or get an apprentice.

Good day, I am struggling to find a contact number for this airfield. I urgently need to know if there is Avgas as well as JetA1 available at this airfield? Please assist me?

Reply to @ptomblin: From what I've been told Olifants never had an ICAO ident. FAOR was used for a now decommissioned airport. So I don't know what we can now use for Olifants.

Reply to @Pivot: Do you have a new ICAO id for this airport?

Goodday

I sent in a request to have this changed on 03 Feb. 2013. Any idea how to update it?

Frequency 119.8

In summer season, December to April Golf strip (5 km south of Bredasdorp) is a fire fighting base with fixed wing aircraft and a helicopter which operates on 121.75 and will keep a listening watch on 119.8.

The ICAO designator for this airport is now FAOR - O.R Tambo International Airport (Previously FAJS). Thus: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in South/ern Africa.

hi there

I would really like to be in touch with someone who flies from Johannesburg to Port Alfred regularly; and who would consider taking me on as a passengar. Our family has a home at Kasouga; my boys are at school in PE; and I would love to be able to get to see them more often. The commercial flights are not as flexible as I would need them to be; and they are really costly. Is there a way of communicating with these people on this site? My name is Nikki and I can be contacted on nknight725@gmail.com or 0833091835. Many thanks

Come fly with us @ the "tip of africa"

maybe one day this no-airport problem can be fixed: flytek.effectivehosting.co.za/quayside/airfield/

I think the position marker is way off and should be nearly two miles south of the marked position

Lat 33 42 38.76 south
