Upington Airport was opened in 1968 as Pierre van Ryneveld Airport. From August 1976 to December 1982, South African Airways made use of Upington as a refuelling station for two weekly scheduled Boeing 747 flights to London and ZĂĽrich, which is why it has such a long runway. The runway was built to accommodate a Boeing 747 with a full load of passengers, cargo and fuel, so that it could take off for Europe without having to stop along the way.
In 2006, Upington Airport was updated into a major cargo hub to serve sub-Saharan Africa directly from South Africa's Northern Cape Province. In 2009 a facility was constructed to serve as long-term parking of mothballed (decommissioned) aircraft. Both the improved cargo area and the area for decommissioned aircraft are shown in this scenery package.
As of now, the airport has a modern terminal building and serves as a connection for Airlink flights to and from Upington.

The name Ysterplaat is Afrikaans from the Dutch "Ijzerplaats", meaning "Place of Iron" in English.
The site of AFB Ysterplaat was originally used as a civilian airfield, known as Maitland Aerodrome, from as early as 1929. With the coming of World War II the land the aerodrome sat on was donated to aid the war effort by Sir David Graaff, on condition his estate would be consulted should it ever be used for non-military purposes. During and after the World War II Ysterplaat was used as a maintenance and assembly depot for aircraft.
Today, due to increased budgetary restrictions, all activity at the base has basically come to a halt. There were plans to convert the base into a civilian airport with a military presence, but no decisions have been taken yet.
