Businesspeople Urge Air Botswana To Serve Phikwe

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Business people in Selebi-Phikwe have called on Air Botswana to start servicing the town.

Speaking during a consultative meeting organised by Selebi-Phikwe Economic Diversification Unit (SPEDU), Captain Dan Molokwe of Aviation Solutions said Selebi-Phikwe Airport is in good condition and just needs a few touches to be used regularly by Air Botswana. He said it is surprising that the airport is not being used. "Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) does not know its mandate. It must be pushed to allow privately-owned companies to take over the airport or even the residents of this town can be given permission to run the airport. If the airport is under private management, it can be marketed well to promote this town," he said.

Molokwe noted that the airport has a three kilometre runway that can accommodate big planes. He said that at the moment, the CAA has employed 40 people at the airport yet only three flights land at the facility per month.
