re: Potchefstroom airport
Potch airfield is the home to Akavlieg Potcheftsroom, a prominent gliding club in South Africa. The airfield is also home to the JS factory - a 18m glider factory. This glider has performed exceptionally well in world competitions. The extra runway was never really needed for the Spaniards, but a "Lanseria" might just kill the gliding of. It might have been good if all stakeholders were considered before the big ideas started flying around.
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?
re: Nice Airport

FLIGHTS TO AND FROM TZANEEN
Is there any commercial flights to and from tzaneen and where can i find the details?
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!
Flight Ops
Land 26, take-off 08, avoid low flying over the falls.
A 'wide' right base for 26 will provide a good view of the falls without causing offence.
Hospitality
Good people, good food. Head chef/taxi driver/new letter publisher, has a tendency to publicise a pilots landing ‘transgressions’, tell them you are arriving 30 minutes later then planned! ;->
runway
rough as a bears ass
Food/lodging/flying
Land, taxi to within 50 meters of your room, dine on the finest Karoo lamb, then have a sundowner in the old tower.
Convenient
Taxi to Southern sand apron, park, walk through South Eastern gate and do your weekend shopping at the SPAR. 50/100 meters, remember to return the shopping cart, and pay your landing fees (R50 for singles), at the honesty box close to the gate.
Food
2 km walk to the Wimpy in town, and it will be hot and sweaty, or cold and damp.
Obstacles
Caution! Power line on approaches

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.
re: Airport information - flights to Durban
This airport has no scheduled flight service. All aircraft operating from here are private.

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.
Nice Airport
I would have bought it if I had the money :-)
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.
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: 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
www dot jsc dot co dot za/staff.asp raas die hele naweek met hulle vliegtuig. Baie klagtes in die plaaslike koerant, Carletonville Herald. 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.
Potchefstroom airport
University, colleges, Government Departments, people from Potch + neighbour towns and mines can use this airport effectively. You wasted the tax payers money on the Spaniards and don’t use this airport to it’s full potential. Why don’t you develop a kind of a “Lanseria” airport?
Airport location
This is a very nice vew of Cookhouse village... but is there actually an airstrip?
Airport Closed!
This was the site of the old Barberton Airport and has been closed for 9 years. A township is now established on the old site.
The new Barberton Airport is located at the following google coordinates: -25.713466 30.974751 / Gps coordinates: S25'43'051 E030'58'515
Beautiful Karoo
