Airport Development
The asset of a town is access through Airports and entry. Plumtree town must develop their airport first, then there will be a resourse driven economy in Plumtree.
Ras Banas
If you wish your one Airport, Ras Banas is yours! There is nothing and no body, no fuel no nothing! Not even Bananas! And creepy silence after stopping the Engine.
Lost Property
On November 6th 2014 I arrived at Antananarivo Airport at 23.35hrs. on Air France flight number AF934. Unfortunately I left my camera, a Canon S120 complete with a case and spare battery under my seat, A30. I informed our local guide who reported the matter to you. Has the camera been handed in to Lost Property? Sincerely, Frank Juckes.
People behavior towards airport peronal
Who it may concern
I was at OR Tambo airport for a flight to Maputo and what catching my eye is how the airport personal has to deal with everyday nonsense of passengers, passengers get angry with airport personal because the idiots don’t lessen when their names are called because they delaying the aircraft or they don’t read there information on their boarding pass nor there tickets.
From that I board my ticket all the necessary information is on there were to go, how mush bags are allowed and even their weight is specified.
We was in line for a flight to Maputo the other day and as usual the airport was very busy, I’ve standing there and watch people’s behavior and lessening to remarks what people have to say towards airport personal is hard to believe. Just before our boarding time our company called and inform us not to board because of something out of there control.
Our luggage was already checked in and now to get it back was what’s amassing me how well the airport personal behaved and responded when inform them that we are not boarding were to go and claim our luggage back… very quick and friendly. While collecting our luggage a very angry passenger also comes to collect her bags and stated that she were treated unfair… this is totally nonsense. I was there and hear the airport personal calling her numerous times because she was delaying the flight… good luck to you women and with some wake up pills you probably catch your flight next time. My feel really goes out to the airport personal for what they have to deal with every day.
Sincerely Yours

Ebola
I have a friend trying to fly from Murtala Mohammed but is being told he needs a health certificate costing 500.00 to board the plane back to the U.S. is this true? 500.00 is a ridiculous amount to expect a person to pay to return home.

Advise about arrival Cairo Airport II
When it comes asking for bakshish or tips. DON'T PAY!
If you are in the taxi and the luggage in the trunk and they ask for tips; leave the taxi and start removing the luggage. It's just pretend because they will then drop the demand for tips right away. You can tip at the other end 10 - 20.00 L. E. if everything went smoothly, it's a long ride and it's very cheap to get from the airport to city center.
A bit of advice about Cairo Airport.
I have my grave suspicion that the previous comment was written by an airport staff. (The poor spelling and overly positive remarks)
Leaving the plane, getting your visa at one of the banks and getting down to the conveyor belt is quite easy. When you finally leave customs you are met with a plethora of driver-managers with badges and what-not. Ignore them even if they grab your trolley. Cross over the street to the opposite site and descent down to a lower level to the official 'white' taxis. You will get wild quotes for driving to downtown Cairo but a fair price Oct. 2014 is 100.00 Egyptian Pound. You might have to wait a minute but a driver will arrive and accept the price. Make sure you are booked with your name with the policeman sitting next to the taxis.
But remember that you can get your visa at the airport, how many countries gives that easy access to their country?

For all First Time Night Flyers!!!
Pilanesberg Int., amazing airport beautiful runway but at night invisible to the average Flyer. Trick is to Press the PTT (Push To Talk) 3 times to switch on and up to 7 times for intensity. After the 7th push the runway lighting will switch off. Easiest way to locate the airfield is 3NM on a radial 050 FRM PNV. Enjoy !!!

Very difficult to landing with flight simulator FXS because there are strong descending air currents from the surrounding mountains (in the afternoon) and because there is very small space for the circuit of landing.

My son whom is in Grade 11 has a school assisgnment which needs to be completed during the upcoming school holidays. The assisgnment is to find work in his envisioned career path and enter the career environment in a "hands on" situation for one week, so that he can gain insight into the realities and demands of the world in work. His dream is to be a pilot when he finishes school.
The employer would not need to renumerate him, but will be required to provide the school with a written report regarding his behaviour and progress.
Could you please assist him with a position which will be invaluable to me child in preparing him for his future.
Please contact me on 0799335995 or on email naomi.campbell@fnb.co.za.
Thanking you sincerely,

Could you please assist him
Ladies Toilets
There was a cleaner at the ladies toilet who was simply waiting for weary passengers and was insisting we pay her some cash for cleaning the toilets.
I did not see any notice to that effect. I have traveled several times in and out of OR Tambo Airport but never experienced this demand.
What next ? do we have to pay for a toilet roll before entering the toilet ?
Friend stuck at airport, need contact person, numbers to cal
My fiancée was supposed to leave from LOS to SF, CA, USA last Friday but have not heard from him. His previous residence was contacted regarding his status at airport but msg left could not be discerned and no contact name or number was left. How do I contact the airport to make inquiries?
Isn't this a former RAF station from WW2?
Whilst the Americans may claim this as a wonderous overnight creation of theirs, generously funded by the US taxpayer without the slightest hint of ulterior motive, I reckon that Jiyanklis Air Base is actually the site of LG226, part of the former RAF Gianaclis and thus over 70 years old.
Surface
Prevailing wind is from the south-east. A drainage ditch has been dug around the north end in April 2014 by Medecins Sans Frontieres, who have a hospital alongside the airstrip. They are also regularly resurfacing and levelling the airstrip, which is made of local soil that becomes very slippery when wet and easily allows sinking. They have regular flights by Cessna Caravan, and in April 2014 have also received an Avro Andover and a Fokker 27 and 50, though these larger aircraft attempt landing only after at least one full day without rain. Samaritan's Purse land their DC3 here, and the UN/WFP regularly use Caravans and Twin Otters.

— Anonymous Flyer at Douala International Airport, Cameroon
They did the same to me last week and they been calling because they want more money I said I wont send no more money and they got mad because they said I care about the money more than the puppy. They ask me for 350.00 and then they ask me for one thousand and something because the puppy need a vaccine to fly to keep her warm and relax. They got me once they wont get me twice. So be careful dont thrust this people.
