re: Nice Airport, Mediocre Service
I agree with you and disagree at the same time. I agree that the terminal staff are not friendly but disagree that the flying club members are friendly. I found them not to be friendly either and arrogant.
Review
Good High Quality Runway and more european facilities good atc and nice friendly ground services. We flew from UKFK were it was a complete disaster and we expected the same here. However i was wrong. Expensive services however still much cheaper than in the states or europe.
Review
Very dull airport old abandoned. Most planes aren't used and are just standing there. Small parking space very very very bad facilities and ATC. Runway is visible however ILS is messed up and concrete needs repair. Mainly used for nothing really some people keep their cessna's there however again the facilities are very bad. Had to refuel but i chose to fly to UKFF (simferopol) and refuel there. Again i want to emphasis that no flights or airlines exist or fly from this airport. However it used to operate in soviet union, now it is abandoned and has 3 people working on it. No equipment and no fire fighters! My client ( i am a pilot of a buissness jet) didnt even get his passport checked by customs i wont even mention security.
But on the otherhand the parking space and ATC and landing fees were ridiculously cheap. Its like heaven for pilots if only their were good facilities...

re: Super gracious hosts at Cortes BC
I flew my 182 in with Barry in his 172 ... from CYPK. Without notice, Jim came out to greet me...NICER than your long lost uncle! WOW... what a place. Warm, clean, lots of space and the view to the kill of Desolation sound. THE HOSPITALITY is first class bar none!!!! Great folks laid out Dianne's fresh baking and cheese and cold cuts and tea.... and begged us to stay. AND I even left with a bottle of Jam from Diane's personal creation made from Salal berries she harvested there. Incredible place. It is now for sale!
re: Verwoerd
Well, it would be a much better website if people would tell us what the name changed to instead of just excoriating us for getting it wrong.
Verwoerd
The name of this airport was changed many years ago.
How good is your website if you cant even get the name right.
re: The airport is closed and will remain that way
I can confirm that a weekly charter flight (BMI) will be travelling from London Heathrow to Beja every Sunday. More info can be found at sunvil.co.uk/discovery/portugal/alentejo/special-offers/travelzoo-special-offer

re: re: SCAMMED BY STARPET MOVERS - Douala, Cameroon
Hello, I'm so happy I found this! Thanks for sharing your experience. I was having some email exchange with an Alexix from Cameroon. They were asking me for $175 for a tea cup Yorkie Terrier. They even send me the airline information and promised saved arrival of the pet by douala_intl_airport_petdelivery@live.com. The listed name in the internet is windybronx. She said she was a woman with a good job and family, only looking to give her pet a loving family since they just moved to a new apartment and the landlord doesn't allow pets in the building. She begged me to trust her words, staying that she was christian and it was against her religion to commit a fraud. Anyways, from the beginning I thought it was a scammed but inner self really wanted the adorable puppy from the picture!
Be aware people and don't ever ever ever give you personal information to anybody online, unless is a serious company that you have references from or is well known and established.
PLEASE REMEMBER, ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS.
re: The airport is closed and will remain that way
I have already told you that BMI are flying there in May. Why don't you want to believe this.
Avalon uses.
Avalon is a maintenance base for QANTAS. It is also the home of the Australian International Air Show each 2 years on the odd year (2007, 2009, 2011, etc.) It is also a passenger terminal for Jetstar and Tiger Airways.

re: My Hometown Airport
Very interesting post, as I too watched aircraft as a young child right here. It saddened me to see this airport dwindle in the 90's. I now run Appalachian Inspection and Maintenance on this airfield, along side Elkins Aviation (flight school) and Advanced Avionics. This airport is once again coming alive!

The airport is closed and will remain that way
Hey guys, let's be honest.
No airline will fly to Beja EVER even because the airport is closed and will remain that way since there are no one interested in operate it. This airport is just for show... and who would want to fly to the middle of a desert? If necessary you can take the road from Algarve or Lisbon and get there is a couple of hours.
Nice Approach
The approach and departure are very nice.. There isn't much to do here while waiting for your flight however.

Isiolo International aArport
I see that works have stated for the construction of Isiolo International Airport. According to information by Daily Nation the runway is reported to be 1.4 Km. instead of 2 km as previously planned. The latter could accept more and biggest airplanes from far destinations, besides the two km runway could be sufficient for war plains in case of emergency due to instability of global politic that is unpredictable. Kshs 610m are not much for such an airport and the Government of Kenya is advised to plan well this first phase; yes, I would like to call it ‘first phase’ since, observing the other airports history, an extension, as a rule, ought to be considered. Besides I see that local problems have taken over the common interest of all Kenyans, since the airport could located in Kampi Garba area without squishing in the present site that noise pollution can destroy the new ‘Las Vegas’ as someone likes to call the future Isiolo, and avoiding the noise pollution, already protected by the Constitution. Anyway the airport is very welcome for the progress of all Kenyans not basically for the local people’s benefit.
immage is incorrect
the east west rny is now 27-09 and is 1k long twice the dist on this image. plus 18-36 is now 20metres to the west.
info about airport
Military base, closed. No tower, no radio.
Don't try to land. Many crap on landing zone.
Now it was used for car games, like rally, dragrace, etc.

re: MDU
Good evening Sypho - remember when you threw the rubber snake off the first floor of TAL admin in Goroka - it landed in a group of highland labourers about to depart for Madang. Junior was not very happy as he lost his payload!! Send me a text with your email address 0404111247. Great days and dogfights along the Wahgi Valley.
Best regards, John R

re: isiolo international airport
Take it up with Google. Nothing we can do about it.
re: isiolo international airport
Google map of Isiolo town is not updated since a few years, many new buildings are unknown. Need of today updating
isiolo international airport
the runway 2 kilometers is not in accordance to international standard; 2 Km only for light aircrafts, not for heavy aircrafts therefore Isiolo cannot be called International Airport. Needed 2.800 meters, minimum.The strong wind direction blowing 6 months a year must be considered since the present airstrip is caught by wind laterally, posing problems to planes for landing and taking off. The wind carries considerable dust damaging engines aircrafts. Intense forestation is need on the left side to stop dust. Tarmac and trees are a necessity to all town roads to prevent dust in the town.
signage
Flew here again a couple weeks ago. Nothing has changed really - great terminal is still deserted. What a waste of $$. Maybe they should have spent some of the cash on signage. Noticed this time - there is not ONE runway or taxi sign on the airport. Even with a map from the AOPA database in Foreflight it was confusing finding runway 5 start. Paint is worn off as well so watch out crossing runways with no signs or markings.
OK place
Very convenient - nice girl at the counter - line boss was a little rude. Tower guy tried to sandwich me in front of another Cherokee on straight in final - asked me to turn toward the runway from my base leg. I did. Then he complained that I didn't turn enough towards the runway and then gave me a vector - which I followed. If ya want me to turn to a heading - tell me which and I am good - his vector put me on the numbers so my final was never established straight in - more like a 45 degree final. Not a problem really, but he was all pissy that he had to circle the other Cherokee on final - not my bad dude - I was Number 1 - was flying the base leg he told me to fly at an appropriate airspeed for the Arrow - 100MPH.
Fuel Availability
Is JET A fuel available at Lubumbashi? Any contacts for the fuel at airport?
