Mahikeng - Mahikeng Airport in North West is set to be back in full operation by resuming regular flights to Johannesburg and Pilanesburg.
Speaking during the official launch of the flight schedule at the airport yesterday, 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. Fares would range from R400 for Mahikeng to Pilanesburg and from R600 for Mahikeng to Johannesburg.
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 strategic growth.
