re: arrival time of an international flight from Paris
Dear Anonymous flyer;
We are sorry that the information you were seeking was not as accurate as you desired. We will strive harder in the future to ensure your experience here is a delightful one. We are sorry that we could not meet your needs, even though washing your hog is not something we normally offer. Perhaps next time you require such as service, you will use a search website to find the proper service providers and not a website that has nothing to do with swine cleaning. Also, you might want to look at the entire page you were complaining about and notice at the bottom this sentence: "Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use." That might be a good spot to take your complaint.
Sincerely sarcastic,
Not-the-management.
arrival time of an international flight from Paris
Looking at the arrivals schedule I noticed that the air place I was looking for had been cancelled. No reason. Just cancelled. Phoned airport and it was hog wash. If you guys cant be accurate and get the correct information dont have the web site!
Comments from anonymous flyer
Firstly, the grammar and vocab shows what, not who, these comments are coming from.
Secondly, I have not seen any locks on our borders preventing this person from leaving and going to a country where everything is to its liking. Maybe it has not realized that it has a choice or maybe the logic is a bit too complex. I know this is really a stretch in tems of comprehension but where does this sense of entitlement come from? Maybe too much time spent with the striking mine and transport workers?
Main air force base
This is the main base of the SAAF.
re: Map to Swartkop Airport
Updated - thanks
re: Map to Swartkop Airport
It's actually an Air Force Base, not a civil airport. Google "Swartkop Air Force Base", "Swartkop AFB" or "AFB Swartkop".
re: This site
Oooi... we're so quick to complain.
As for catching a wakeup... it should be apparent for anyone with half a brain that this is not an official ACSA or OR Tambo site. For a site that is run and maintained by volunteers I think is it nice. Thanks guys... you provide much needed info which ACSA themselves does do so well. This site serves me well.
So if you want to get abusive, go to ...acsa.co.za/home.asp?pid=66 and do it there. Some-one gets paid to maintain that site.
Contact details
why are there no contact details for all these airports???? I dont get it!!!!

This site
The problem with the last person who posted, is clearly they have the lowest of low standards in fact no standards! I sit here at ORTIA awaitng news on an SA airways from Dubai (not a small airport, or an unknowns airline to ACSA or I hope SAA and guess what? Yip that's right no info....come on ACSA CATCH A WAKE UP!!!! To think you played a part in the World Cup. Got to go now, as I have a SMS from my wife to say she has landed.....buy the way she a a shit lot more reliable thanks ACSA. I HOPE THIS POST MAKES IT CLEAR HOW CRAP YOUR SERVICE IS...SORRY WHAT SERVICE...... At lease this helped to kill time! Just emagin if the flight was delayed how much more I could have added. Will log on again when I next pick someone up at the airport.....but do not expect improvement as I am sure these posts are NOT reviewed by Managment who Give a toss!

We have a meeting there on Wednesday, 14/3. Can you please give me directions from Hatfield Pretoria or N4?

Thank you

Is die veld gesoneer vir 'n krematorium/begraafplaas?, dit is dan immers die gebruiksaanwending. Laat die selfmoordgevalle asb tog net probeer om op JSC se perseeltjie te val- vergemaklik die opruiming soveel.
PS: Verkieslik op teer, dan kan die oorblyfsels van dieselkes met 'n hoëdruk wasser afgespuit word!!!!!
Ek sien julle deel voor die voet "life memebrships" uit, is dit gewoonlik minder as 'n jaar??????.
O, voordat ek vergeet sal u so gaaf wees om my te voosien van die persoonlike besonderhede van julle mees aktiewe springers, sou graag lewensdekking op hulle wou neem met myself as die begunstigde!!! Ek was so spyt
dat ek die Tonto en die Rob Taylor boerpotte gemis het !! Sal nogal daarvan hou om van die kus af met julle te kommunikeer.
Groete tot volgende keer

shit site must reflek the airline
re: Arrivals at Airport
One of the things that this site provides is a link to the official web site for the airport (if we know of it). In the case of this airport, we do have a link to it. Perhaps if you can't find what you want here, you should try the one that people are actually getting paid to maintain, instead of rubbishing the one that's done by volunteers?
re: Arrivals at Airport
Thanks for talking a look around. We provide open data for over 40,000 airports around the world, much of it contributed by our members. For real-time arrivals and departures, however, we depend on FlightStats, which kindly lets us republish their status pages for airports that have airline service. If there are other features you'd like to see, please let us know, and I'll look into adding them (this is a volunteer/hobby site, so speed of new features depends on the time I can get free from work and family obligations).
Arrivals at Airport
What a terrible website. How do you get information that YOU actually want to find out?
Arrivals
Need to view intrnational arrivals for 4november..but it only shows arrivals and departures for today. What to do?
Reputation
Thank you for living up to your reputation, I was not disappointed. Had my luggage broken into. Thanks for "Putting messures into place" to prevent this from happening. It clearly doesn't work!
This site
Just checked my wife's flight from Durban to see if there was info, last updated 111 minutes ago, she has called to say there is a 20 min delay so I'm guessing this site is as useful as a chocolate fireplace, what a joke!
re: No info
This site largely caters for pilot's and gives very meaningifull/usefull information to us. I do not believe it was intended as passenger information service.
No info
This site is not designed to provide any meaningful information!
re: Flight information
If you find any out-of-date information, please let us know. In some cases, you can change the information yourself once you create an account.
Flight information
The purpose of this service is that it should be current information otherwise it is meaningless.

lovley airfield
I used this Airfield for additional Training flights. And once we flew into Lanseria inbound from Maputo - after a crazy 9 day transfer flight of a brand new Pilatus Porter from Switzerland all the way down to SA.
re: Outdated flight arrivals/departure information
get real idiot
Outdated flight arrivals/departure information
When trying to see actual live ORTambo arrival/departure information via the internet it is rather outdated. What can you expect from a 1st world country that became a 3rd world country. I thought they might get even better after independance, but was I wrong, they are getting worse.
flights to Tripoli
Please could someone advise what to do about my reservation to Paris via Tripoli on Air Afriquiyah next week? are the flights still going? Most grateful, dont know who to ask
re: GERAASBESOEDELING - VLIEGTUIG - Naweke raas die Johannes
Luister vriend, Eugene Potgieter HET nie n vliegtuig nie. Hy is net n lid van die JSC klub. Sy besigheid en jou boring lewe het NIKS met die valskerm klub te doen nie. Kry n lewe, verkieslik in n ander dorp. Is daar nie al genoeg in die plaaslike koerant verduidelik aan jou dat die klub nie aan Potgieter behoort nie. As jy dit nie kan verstaan nie, is dit dalk waar wat hulle oor sekere spier..... ag toemaar, as jy nie kan verstaan wat in die koerante is nie, mors ek my tyd.
Gaan Gym of iets, jy mis alles!
P.s. Jy gee n nuwe betekenis aan die woord ongelooflik - gaan weg.
GERAASBESOEDELING - VLIEGTUIG - Naweke raas die Johannesburg

Boikot Pottie (Eugene) Potgieter van Gladiator Security www gladiator dot co dot za . Johannesburg Skydiving club moet by hulle dorp gaan raas. Baie myners werk nagskof en kan nie slaap nie. Ek hoop die vliegtuig val. Carletonville inwoner.

Some Companies have "Unknown"
Why do some companies, eg Iberia have "unknown" and I have been told that it was due at 10.50 and 11.20. Now I wonder if it arrived and whether one must go and pick-up the passenger that we expect to arrive today
re: noise levels in departures
I quite agree with your comments but unfortunately or what ever this is part of African culture I am told that by talking loudly implies that they are not saying anything behind each others back and if you understand their language therefore you would not be offended thats the best way I can discribe it I could stand to be corrected but this is the way it was explained to me as a Europane Immigrant.
noise levels in departures
Your staff - from the check in staff right through to cleaning and those manning the coffee shops feel quite compelled to shout to one another as loudly as possible with total disregard for the image of the company, the deafening noise levels that they create and the discomfort of the passengers. Unfortunately, as beautiful as the airport design is, the halls are 'hollow' and the noise created by your staff travels. Maybe if you educate them to speak in normal tones that would help.
