Brakpan-Benoni Airfield (FABB) Improvement

Brakpan Airfield was established in 1953 and today still forms an important part of Ekurhuleni's transport infrastructure. The airfield is owned and maintained by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and the Brakpan Aero Club is the license holder. Brakpan has a long tar runway, which makes it possible for bigger and faster as well as jet propelled aircraft to operate from it. The runway is also equipped with runway lights that can be switched on by any aircraft via radio contact, thus allowing night flying.
