Na die opening van die bekroonde lughawe in 2017 was besoek aan St Helena nog nooit so maklik nie. Slegs 'n kort vlug van ses uur vanaf Johannesburg kan u vervoer van die gewoel van die stadslewe na die idilliese, skilderagtige eiland St. Helena.
The best kept secret of the South Atlantic now can be explored by nature, marine and history lovers from all over the world.
Oor die lughawe St Helena
In September 2008 het die goewerneur in die Raad op St. Helena toestemming verleen vir die bou van die lughawe en verwante infrastruktuur. Die kontrak om die lughawe St Helena te ontwerp, te bou en te bedryf, is in 2011 aan Basil Read ('n Suid-Afrikaanse konstruksiemaatskappy) toegeken en op 3 November 2011 onderteken.
Following significant earthworks on island, overcoming the logistical challenge of importing and transporting essential materials to site involved constructing a 14km road, and constructing a new airport and associated facilities at a ‘greenfield’ site. St Helena Airport was certified for operations by Air Safety Support International (ASSI) on 10th May 2016. This achievement was made all the more remarkable by the issuance of an aerodrome certificate at the first attempt.
Following its construction, the Airport has opened-up rapid access to the rest of the world and has already proven itself following the successful completion of a number of medevac flights to the African mainland, where patients receive life-saving treatment.
Commercial air services commenced on 14th October 2017 with a weekly flight connecting St Helena to South Africa, and a monthly flight connecting St Helena with Ascension Island. The Airport also accommodates frequent private and charter flights, as well as technical stops by aircraft using St Helena as a hop between South America and Southern/Western Africa.
