Towns listed near BFN
Among the towns published on this site, the nearest reference points are Bloemfontein at 9 km; Welkom at 131 km; Kimberley at 155 km. That is the fixed town list, not a claim about every settlement in the country.
Don't carry the Bloemfontein figure over to Welkom. The listed distances are 9 km and 131 km. They are different reference points, so the shorter one is not the distance to the second town. Bloemfontein is the associated place name on the airport record, not the location of every hotel.
Other passenger airports near BFN
