As the capital city of the Free State Province and the judicial capital of South Africa, the dynamic city of Bloemfontein is home to world-class educational institutions and established industries, as well as lying in the heart of fertile farming area. With its strategic position near the geographical center of the country, a number of main transport routes pass through the city, and Bloemfontein Airport plays an important role in business travel, cargo shipping and tourism.

The airport's runways and state-of-the-art communication equipment are shared by the Bloemspruit Air Force Base located south-east of the runways. With Bloemfontein having been a host city for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Bloemfontein Airport proved to have the infrastructure to cope efficiently with the significantly increased volume of passengers.
