Bhisho Airport, which has been a white elephant for about 20 years, may see its first commercial flight soon.
This announcement followed the Eastern Cape transport department’s meeting with Airlink last week which opened up the possibility of introducing flights between Cape Town, Bhisho, Port Elizabeth and Mthatha.
The airline chief operations officer Johan van Jaarsveld was quoted as saying the newly-refurbished Bhisho Airport infrastructure met their requirements.
The company has further requested the department to urgently upgrade its infrastructure at the Mthatha Airport in order to introduce an evening flight between Johannesburg and Mthatha.
