Nelspruit's Kruger International Airport
Nelspruit's Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, also known as KMIA / Kruger Airport / Nelspruit Airport, is the best looking airport in South Africa - with a thatched roof, dark stone floors and most of all the intimate feeling of a smaller airport. The international and domestic departures are right next to each other, and the airlines each have a check-in desk right next to each other. The airport is privately owned and operated by Primkop Airport Management (Pty) Ltd.
Flight reviews from Nelspruit Kruger
On the 29th May 2011 we flew BA from Nelspruit to Joburg. Happily, there was very little to write up about. Our pilot, Lyndsay, did a fine job, and we enjoyed British Airways comfy spatious seats.
