Where Polokwane International handles the airline traffic out of town, the older Pietersburg Municipal field (ICAO FAPI) keeps serving general aviation close to the city centre. It carries the city's former name — Pietersburg, renamed Polokwane in 2003. Flight schools, private and business aircraft and occasional charters use the apron, but there are no scheduled passenger or freighter services. Air cargo for Limpopo moves through PTG and ultimately OR Tambo in Johannesburg, so for freight forwarders FAPI is a light-aviation strip rather than a cargo address.
