re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

Reply to @ptomblin: Not an answer to your question but some 'trivia' - On Lufthansa's Airbus 380 between Or Tambo and Frankfurt they consistently show the departure airport (Johannesburg) as Olifants River Bridge on their in flight maps !!!

Home Base correction

Hi guys

Just to clarify, Mango (738's) and Comair (Kulula.com and the local British Airways operator with various 737 models) only have pilot bases in Cape Town, along with SA Express (CRJ2 and DH4Q) , SAA (738's) and SA Airlink (ERJ and Avro RJ's). This is not the 'home' bases of these airlines. All of them have the Head Offices in Johannesburg (OR Tambo International).

Its not a biggie, I know...but still, its more correct.

there are no scheduled flight to Springbok, you will have to fly to Cape Town and hire a car, or you have to charter a plane. Springbok is only a small town with a small airport.

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

Reply to @Pivot: I believe in that case that David (the owner of this site) has been assigning arbitrary ids to airports that don't have an official designator.

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

Reply to @ptomblin:

I wrote the senior manager for aerodromes and facilities in South Africa and he says "Olifants is not a licensed aerodrome therefore I cannot confirm their locator". So there is no ICAO ident for this airport. Now what?

Good day, I am struggling to find a contact number for this airfield. I urgently need to know if there is Avgas as well as JetA1 available at this airfield? Please assist me?

Picture of Pivot

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

Reply to @ptomblin: From what I've been told Olifants never had an ICAO ident. FAOR was used for a now decommissioned airport. So I don't know what we can now use for Olifants.

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

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?

A great place to learn to fly. Friendly ATC controlling a busy situation. Great job!
