Bram Fischer International Airport (IATA: BFN, ICAO: FABL) is a primary airport located in Bloemfontein, the capital city of the Free State province of South Africa. Bram Fischer International Airport was officially renamed Bram Fischer International Airport by President Jacob Zuma at an historic event held at the airport on 13 December 2012.
The airport has the BLV VOR/DME placed at the correct location. Runway and taxiway lighting has been adapted to maintain the authenticity of the airport.
The neighbouring Airforce Base, Bloemspruit, shares its runways with the airport and all the base hangars have been modelled in great detail. This includes the 16 Squadron Rooivalk helicopter hangar and various others.
The main terminal building and surroundings have been updated with accurate textures and the interior of the main terminal has been partially modelled to create a more immersive experience when parked on the main apron. Night lighting is enhanced and emits from the interior during the night cycle.
The area facing the apron has also been updated with recent improvements to the airport, showcasing its current state. New GA hangars, to the east of the main airport, have been added and textured accordingly.
All models have been reproduced using images supplied by airport and airforce base staff as well as input supplied by the local community.
