Bhisho Airport is expected to have the first commercial airline landing in the near future, the Eastern Cape Department of Roads and Transport reported.

According to department spokesperson, Ncedo Kumbaca, the idea was discussed at a meeting held two weeks ago at the airport between the department and Air Link.

The discussion was about the possibility of introducing flights between Cape Town, Bhisho Airport and Mthatha.
Kumbaca said that Transport MEC Gloria Barry “expressed appreciation by this show of interest”.

Air Link Chief Operations Officer Johan van Jaarsveld said the newly refurbished Bhisho Airport infrastructure met their requirements.“There is a huge opportunity for us here and any Air Link aircraft can land here. We will send an operations team to do an audit of operational facilities,” said Van Jaarsveld.

The company further requested the department to urgently upgrade its infrastructure at the Mthatha Airport in order to introduce an evening flight between Johannesburg and Mthatha. Another important goal for the department is to link Port Elizabeth to Mthatha via Bhisho, said Kumbaca. – LM
