Bram Fischer International Airport () is an airport serving Bloemfontein, the capital city of the Free State province of South Africa. The runways are shared with AFB Bloemspruit.
History The airport was opened in November 1961 and the runways were completed before the terminal buildings so that the South African Airforce could make use of them.
Bloemfontein Airport, like many others in South Africa, underwent R46 million's worth of construction and upgrading of the whole airport in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
In November 2012, the South African government announced that the airport's name was to be changed to Bram Fischer International Airport; the official renaming was performed by Pres. Jacob Zuma on Thursday, 13 December 2012.
Facilities The main terminal building is used for both international and domestic flights.
