The Civil Aviation Authority has downgraded its license to a lower category due to concerns over safety measures regarding the poor maintenance of the runway.

The airport currently provides minimal services including private chattered flights daily. It also runs a pilot academy with about 1 500 candidates studying in various disciplines of aviation.The outgoing mayor of Tshwane Stevens Mokgalapa says the airport is not generating any revenue for the City. “At the moment, the airport is just draining the coffers of the City without any revenue. So we instituted an appointment of transactional adviser which goes through the normal process of the MFMA. It’s a three year 24-month contract at a cost of about R22 million. All they do is normal transactional advisers, assessments, studies, management controls in the interim up until they hand over the site with recommendations to the City to say this is what will happen.
