What Travelers Love

Common Complaints
  • Limited Public Information: There is an absence of public traveler reviews and detailed information regarding passenger facilities, amenities, or services.
  • No Customs or Immigration: Ficksburg Sentraoes Airport is not an airport of entry, meaning it does not handle international customs or immigration, limiting its use for international passenger travel.
  • No Fuel Available: The airport reportedly has no fuel available on site, which could be an operational constraint for some aircraft.
  • No Control Tower Hours: There are no published control tower hours, indicating it operates without a control tower or with limited air traffic services.

Prospective travelers should anticipate a basic airport environment without the extensive services found at larger commercial hubs.
