Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) SOC Limited wishes to clarify reports suggesting that the resumption of flight operations to Hoedspruit Airport is dependent on “a declaration by government or ATNS.”
ATNS does not provide air traffic services at the said airport or has the mandate or responsibility to suspend flight operations into Hoedspruit Air Force Base or Eastgate Airport.
The decision to cancel, delay, divert, or resume flight operations in and out of Eastgate Airport does not rest with ATNS.
Accordingly, ATNS cannot be expected to “declare” when flight operations at this airport will resume….
