Historic general aviation hub serving the Limpopo capital region.

Location

Polokwane, South Africa

Pietersburg Municipal Airport, designated ICAO code FAPI, is a general aviation facility located in Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg), the capital of Limpopo Province in South Africa. The airport carries the historical name of the city before its official renaming in 2005, and it continues to serve light aircraft, charter operations, and training activities in the region. The airport is distinct from the main commercial facility serving Polokwane, which is Polokwane International Airport (FAPP, IATA: PTG). FAPI primarily supports general aviation traffic, private flights, and flight training rather than scheduled commercial airline services. Its role is complementary to the larger international airport that handles most passenger traffic to and from the city. Polokwane is a significant regional hub in northern South Africa, and the presence of both a general aviation airport and an international airport reflects the city's growth and its importance as the administrative center of Limpopo Province.
