Military air force base also used for civilian planes. The civilian planes land and go to the Eastgate airport terminal at the south of the air force base. I was here on an Airlink flight from Joburg to Hoedspruit.
– You don’t see much of the air force base when landing or taking off, and most is in underground bunkers.
– Interesting passing the hidden hangars
– Didn’t see any military planes but I’m sure on some occasions people would get lucky.
+6

Infrequent flights and an almost non-existent (but charming) terminal mean both boarding and disembarking are very quick.

James’ Review 5 highlights the efficiency of Air Force Base Hoedspruit. Due to the airport’s size and the infrequency of flights, both boarding and disembarking are swift and hassle-free, allowing passengers to quickly proceed to their desired destinations.
