Mmabatho International Airport → Mafikeng Airport — - [Airport name according to South African Civil Aviation Authority.] --84.73.227.102 (talk) 21:07, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Qualified~~ Support per nom. The SACAA website is _atrociously_ designed, but [1] is an official document on there that gives the name as "Mafikeng International". ~~I would therefore propose the new name as Mafikeng International Airport.~~ Tevildo (talk) 18:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note though that the AIC referred to is from 2004, when the airport still had international status. The licence was moved to Pilanesberg, though efforts continue for an additional licence at Mafikeng. The latest AIP amendment refers to the airports as Mafikeng and Pilanesberg International.

Changing my opinion to full support, per the above. And I never knew you could have an unescaped apostrophe in an URL. Let's hope it doesn't become general knowledge. :) Tevildo (talk) 21:33, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
