Final Plett Airport inspection concluded
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (Sacaa) inspection of the Plettenberg Bay Airport was concluded on Friday, paving the way for commercial flights to resume.
The airport was downgraded by the Sacaa earlier this year, resulting in the suspension of all commercial flights.
Airline operator CemAir, which has been offering flights between Plettenberg Bay and major city centres for the past seven years, had to suspend all of its flights into the town in August.
The suspension resulted from the downgrading of Plettenberg Bay Airport to below the minimum category required for commercial flights to operate into the airport. The reason for the suspension was the ongoing failure of the airport to address outstanding issues from Sacaa inspections, some several years old.
Since the downgrade, CemAir and the Bitou Municipality have worked together to restore the airport’s former status.
