Originally called
Bop Air, after Bophuthatswana, the airline rebranded as
Sun Air following the end of
apartheid in 1994 and the reincorporation of Bantustans into South Africa. Ownership of the airline transferred from the government of Bophuthatswana to the newly created
North West Province which took over much of Bophuthatswana's former territory, prior to the airline's planned privatisation in 1997. ==Destinations==
