SCHEDULED flights
have recommenced
at Mahikeng Airport
in North West province. SA
Express will operate flights
from Mahikeng to OR Tambo
International Airport and
Pilanesberg Airport.
Fares range from R400 for
Mahikeng to Pilanesberg and
from R600 for Mahikeng to
Johannesburg.
“For now, SAX is the only
airline to fly out of the airport,”
North West province acting
head of communications,
Brian Setswambung, told
TNW. “We have not had any
other airlines communicate
their interest in flying to the
airport as yet.”
Speaking at the recent
official launch of the flight
schedule at the airport,
North West Premier, Supra
Mahumapelo, said the move
was part of the provincial
government’s broader plan to
reposition the province with
special focus on Mahikeng
(formerly Mafikeng) as the
capital city.
On September 7, SAX
launched its MahikengJohannesburg-Pilanesberg
flights, which operate twice
daily on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays using a 50-seat
Canadair Regional Jet 200.
