The flights will be operated by Airlink, which plans to relaunch its three-times-a-day scheduled service.
Transport and Community Safety MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya welcomed the reinstatement of commercial flights at the airport.
“A team from the Department of Transport and Community Safety was assembled with the assistance of other stakeholders to attend to the findings in order to restore commercial activities in the province’s biggest airport. “All findings were addressed within a period of five months and the airport has been given a green light to resume with its operations from mid-October.”“Thousands of motorists were delayed due to heavy traffic congestion on the N1 and other busy roads in the province during the long weekend. The resumption of commercial flights will come as a relief to hundreds of business people and holidaymakers who often prefer to fly between Polokwane and OR Tambo.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Limpopo and South Africa for their patience from April until now,” she said.
