The Best of the Best
A small airfield with a big heart. Over week-ends it hums with aviation enthusiasts. Anything from the most basic microlight to the bigger single engine commercial aircraft. Great restaurant and food!!!

FAVD
Long narrow dirt/gravel strip. "Hump" on runway if approaching from East, touchdown point advised 200-300 m from threshold to avoid a bounce!
FATI
Nice smooth tar strip, uphill slope that can be misleading if approaching from NE , hardstand parking for approx. 4 aircraft. No fuel.

Error in naming
This airfield in Uganda's biggest national park is actually called "Pakuba Airfield". I was there myself and can confirm this. For more information refer to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakuba_Airfield

How to get to Springbok
From Jo'burg, better is to fly to Upington and hire a car there. It's a shorter drive than from CT.
Avoid !!
This airport is no longer use-able ...
Local "friendlies" will liberate you of fuel - and avionics whilst making gestures with knives and panga's.
The old Hangars are no longer there - they have been "re-appropriated and re-located" to the other side of the road to form housing for the same friendlies....

What is the exact date of opening
When I look for tickets going to alex I don't see borg elarab but I would prefer el nouzha because its closer

Discrimination
I was flying from kigali on the 23rd of july and unfortunately it ruined my holiday because of the discrimination against muslim women at the airport. There were 3 of us and we were all wearing the islamic black gown. When we passed the security check for hand-luggage we all passed through the machine without it beeping and yet we were all checked physically by the female officer there. I do not understand why we were physically checked and yet the machine did not beep. Other women were not physically checked if the machine did not beep. This is discrimination against muslim women. Rwanda is an amazing place for a holiday but because of this humiliation I would not recommend anyone visiting Rwanda because of their insulting behaviour at Kigali Airport. I have travelled a lot and I have never come across such rude behaviour. If Rwanda doesn't want muslim women to visit them, they should just say so rather than making us go through this humiliation.
Waiting at OR Tambo Airport
I am travelling from Cape Town to JHB and have to wait quite a long time for my flight to Malawi, is there a facility at the airport where I can wait for a few hours?
Private Airfield
We wanted to land here but apparently the airfield is controlled by the Ambatovy Mine and the President of the mine, Tim Dobson Tim.Dobson@ambatovy.mg is reluctant to allow visitors to land there. A pity.. we were hoping for better Madagascar hospitality.

Lost laptop at airport in Kigali
Hi everyone,
I am looking for the contact information of the airport in Kigali. I found old numbers that do not work. I mysteriously lost my laptop during second check in point yesterday June 20 around 8:25 or 8:30 am. I flew on Kenya airways flight 448 to Bujumbura and last saw my laptop during security checking. My email is rnezien@ajws.org. Thanks for kind help
Dawson's airport
There is no airport at the location shown. Nor is there even any kind of rough landing strip.
Website is useless
What is the point of simply listing all the flights coming in without providing any search facilities. I am trying to find out if there is a flight coming in from the DRC today and I have to scroll through endless lists. Surely it would be very simple to add a few search criteria such as departure airport, local or international, airline etc.
Where does the information/research come from?
This site is community maintained and updated. There is nobody associated with OurAirports that does any research or verification that I'm aware of. The concept is that pilots around the world will update the information that is relevant to them and thus create a database of world wide airport information. So, become a member and update the information yourself.
bethseda
ooooooo is this serviceable - I flew over the area not too long ago and deduced that it was not - have there been any changes since - where does the Info / Research come from ????
Limited food options
There are limited food options inside airport security. There's a small snack bar with pastries (Danish, croissant, etc.) and meat pies (that will be microwaved), but not a lot else.
Accra Mall
The Accra Mall (the biggest mall in West Africa, though small by North American/European standards) is only 2 km away, and getting there should cost about 10 cedi (~USD 3.00) in taxi fare. As always in Accra, negotiate the fare *before* you get in the cab — there are no metres — and don't feel bad if you end up paying a bit extra because you're obviously not local.

re: Wrong location!
What you can see on the map IS indeed about 6km east from the town center on Juba Road. So the shown location is perfectly right.
