Asking for old ICAO code
What was the old ICAO code for Jiyanklis Air Base before HEGS when USAF was operating it?
Any verification on the ICAO ID?
I flagged this airport listed with ICAO ID GMAR as it is a duplicate to this original record. All changes should be made to this one.

Reply to @Mohsen: Thanks for the info -- I've made it into a problem report. Because this airport is in a disputed territory, I'd like to confirm the ICAO code before changing it. Do you have a link to a source?

Health screening during the 2014-15 Ebola crisis
When I visited in 2015 during the Ebola crisis, there was fairly strict health screening in place. We had our temperatures taken before we entered the terminal building by local authorities (common at all public buildings), then again before we boarded the Air France flight, by a security team from France. On arrival at CDG, we were checked again exiting the plane, then those of us who had started our trips in Ebola-affected countries were pulled off the Paris-Montreal flight first, while all other passengers were forced to remain seated, and given a checkup by a public health nurse.

Disgusted to be a south african
Arriving this morning from London Heathrow I was shocked angered and saddened by the treatment people receive from south african staff at passport border custom control no wonder tourism is down i heard comments from tourists saying they will not come to south Africa again and I don't blame them the staff at Heathrow are all nationalities and treat people with respect and dignity in our country south Africa i would not speak to my dogs that way is it racism towards white people I think so
Stunning!
Lovely wide grass strip - perhaps a little bumpy but the scenery is gorgeous. Great little bistro/cafe, chocolate shop and a brewery on the airfield (bought 6 bottles on spec - need to go back and get some more!!)

Pathetic service for south Africans returning
We waited more than 40 minutes for passport control for citizens of the country .
World cup soccer certainly changed nothing
4 people working . Well done
ICAO Code
ICAO code for this airport is HKNL, not HKNY.
It's not as bad as you think
I fly in and out of South Africa about six times a year, usually to Nairobi or Dar es Salaam. Anyone who thinks OR Tambo is a dirty airport, full of rude staff has obviously never been north of the Limpopo to airports like Dar es Salaam, Addis, or Nairobi. I find the customs staff at best, friendly, and (mostly) at worst, disinterested. If you want rude, combative and vulgar customs staff try arriving in America in Atlanta or Miami.
If you've ever travelled by air in the rest of Africa you'll realise OR Tambo is relatively slick, organised and miles, miles better than Dar es Salaam or Nairobi airport. I for one feel happy and proud wherever I return to OR Tambo.
FLIGHT
PLEASE HELP
We need to book a flight
Two adults to Springbok
Please assist

Cabin crew member
My name is leandrea cola and I have recently obtained a cabin crew licence and would like to fulfill my dream and pursue a career in the world of aviation...
I will be a great addition not only because I’m very confident and enthusiastic but I possess great interpersonal skills, am out going, friendly, physically fit, stress tolerant which I have used to my advantage in my career as a sales representative. I managed to create a huge client base to show for it.
I have worked with people of different ages, races and gender in the past 2 years and can speak English fluently. My very positive attitude and empathy I believe can turn any frown into a smile and even a laugh.
Thanks

— @Schraubendreher at Matsapha Airport, Eswatini
After the opening of the new King Mswati III International Airport in September 2014, it only serves royal movements, flights of the Eswatini Government, and mercy flights.
