About Jwaneng Airport
Jwaneng Airport is a small airport serving Jwaneng, a mining town in the Southern District of Botswana. The airport is owned by Debswana, the company that also operates the nearby Jwaneng diamond mine, and it primarily supports private, charter and mining-related flights.
Located about 4 km west of Jwaneng town, the airport has a single asphalt runway and a compact terminal building. Its role is mainly regional and specialist rather than scheduled commercial, with connections focused on the diamond industry, business travel and access to the wider southern Botswana area.
Jwaneng lies roughly 120 km west of Gaborone, the national capital, so the airport provides a convenient local arrival point for travellers visiting the town and surrounding region, with onward journeys by road.
Facilities at the airport are basic but functional for its scale of operation, making it a practical gateway for those travelling to Jwaneng, the mine and nearby destinations.
