Mahikeng Airport or Mmabatho Airport[4] (IATA: MBD, ICAO: FAMM) is an airport serving Mahikeng and Mmabatho, the current and former capital cities of the North West province in South Africa. The airport is widely known as Mafikeng Airport after Mahikeng's former name.[5] The airport is managed by the North West Province Department of Transport and Roads. The airport is a former air force base of the Boputhatswana Defence Force[4] and was previously classified as an international airport.[5] As of 2014, discussions and construction was in progress in order for the airport to regain its status as an international airport.[6][7]
