Historic municipal airfield serving the Limpopo provincial capital.
Location
Polokwane, South Africa
Pietersburg Municipal Airport, designated ICAO code FAPI, is a general aviation airfield located in Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg), the capital of Limpopo Province in South Africa. It operates alongside the larger Polokwane International Airport (FAPP), which handles scheduled commercial traffic in the region.
The airfield primarily serves private, charter, and general aviation operations rather than scheduled airline services. Its older infrastructure reflects its origins as a municipal facility built during the apartheid-era administrative period when the city was still known as Pietersburg.
Polokwane's growth as a provincial hub has shifted most commercial aviation activity to Polokwane International Airport, leaving FAPI with a more specialized role in the local aviation ecosystem.
