Return guests and residents of the area who previously used Eastgate Airport cannot believe the transformation. It’s much more spacious, check-in is smoother, luggage is handled quickly and the waiting area is much more comfortable.

Eastgate Airport is situated in the eastern reaches of South Africa’s Limpopo Province. Its origins stem from an unused portion of the Hoedspruit Airforce Base at the southern end of the airfield which was converted into a civilian airport known as Eastgate Airport in the late 1990s.
