Hoedspruit's Eastgate Airport manaʻo e loaʻa ka honua Airport laikini a manaʻo e hoʻomaka i nā mokulele honua ma hope o ke koi nui.
E like me nā hōʻike, ua hōʻike ʻo Esmaralda Barnes, ka Luna Hoʻokele Nui, aia lākou i nā kamaʻilio mua me nā mana kūpono e hoʻopaʻa i ka laikini honua.
Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Barnes e hoʻopau manawa nā kaʻina hana i koi ʻia e nā luna kūpono. Eia naʻe, me ka haʻi ʻana i ke kākoʻo mai Limpopo Province a me Maruleng's Mayor, ua hōʻike ʻo ia i ka hilinaʻi i ka Hoedspruit's Eastgate Airport (HDS) i loaʻa ka laikini honua. Ua manaʻo ʻo Barnes e hiki ke hōʻoia i ka laikini ma ka hopena o 2024.
