GRAND CENTRAL AIRPORT
SA Flyer Magazine
|June 2022
The Covid-19 pandemic hit general aviation hard - and Grand Central airport was no exception.
-
LAST YEAR THERE WAS REAL sense that 2021 would be the make-or-break year for Grand Central. The good news for Grand Central’s many users and the industry at large is that this resilient airport has survived and is bouncing back strongly.
Grand Central, as the name suggests, benefits from having an ideal location in the heart of Gauteng. It’s a quick hop from the apron to the highway to Johannesburg or Pretoria and the nearest Gautrain station is just 5 minutes away.
The airport is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and offers car rental facilities and a travel agency. An Executive Departures lounge provides the ideal location for passengers to relax before embarking on a flight. The airport also boasts a 16-seater boardroom facility on the first floor. The Airport now offers a hot desk office with two small 4-seater boardrooms & free wi-fi for non-office bound executives.
The Harvard Café located in the terminal building has a large seating area looking out over the apron where visitors can watch light aircraft and helicopters taking off. There is also a large outdoor children’s play area.

THE TIGER SAGA

So I suppose it's natural that I occasionally get asked an impossible question by a young bright-eyed aviation enthusiast: What's your favourite plane?
