## Description

Owned by the City of Tshwane, Wonderboom (PRY/FAWB) is Pretoria's general-aviation airport, busy with flight schools, corporate and private flights, skydiving and helicopter work rather than scheduled airline traffic. A R7.2-billion redevelopment aims to turn the field into a domestic freight gateway for high-value mining commodities such as platinum and manganese, easing pressure on congested O. R. Tambo International. For now no significant cargo flights operate here, so freight forwarders route Pretoria's air cargo through O. R. Tambo (JNB), some 50 km to the south-east. Regional carrier Airlink offers limited connectivity, and the airport also hosts light-aircraft manufacturing in its hangars. Until the planned terminals and cargo areas are built, Wonderboom remains a business- and training-aviation field rather than a working freight node.
