Bram Fischer International Airport guide

Bram Fischer International Airport serves Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of South Africa and the largest city in the Free State. It lies east of the city centre and sits on the N8 corridor. The airport was named Bloemfontein International Airport until December 2012, when it took its present name.

The airfield has two asphalt runways, 02/20 at 2,563 metres and 12/30 at 2,194 metres. Both are shared with the neighbouring Air Force Base Bloemspruit, so civil and military flying use the same airfield. A single terminal building handles domestic and international traffic.

Scheduled flights run to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, with CemAir also flying to George. Johannesburg is the busiest link and gives connections to the rest of the country and to international routes. Traffic fell to about 73,000 passengers in the 2020-21 financial year and has recovered to above 430,000 in 2025-26. Annual aircraft movements have fallen from over 22,000 in 2009-10 to under 12,000 as airlines moved to larger aircraft.
