Bloemfontein is today a dynamic city with fine academic institutions, modern conference facilities and established industries. Its position near the geographical centre of South Africa means that the country’s main transport routes pass through the city, contributing to its economy.
Bloemfontein Airport is a busy gateway. It catered for just over 350,000 tourists and business travellers in the 2006/2007 financial year and also handles substantial volumes of cargo.
The runways are shared by Bloemspruit Air Force Base, whose activities contribute to the economic activity and sustainability of the area.
