About Mossel Bay Airport
Mossel Bay Airport is a small, privately licensed airport serving the coastal town of Mossel Bay on South Africa's Garden Route. It operates mainly as a general aviation and non-scheduled flight facility, complementing the larger George Airport, which handles scheduled services for the region.
The airport is owned by Mossel Bay Municipality and managed by the Mossel Bay Aero Club. It sits about 526 feet (160 metres) above sea level and uses an east–west main runway roughly 1,143 metres long; terminal infrastructure is compact, reflecting the airport's focus on private and charter flying.
Located about 4 nautical miles west-northwest of Mossel Bay town, the airport is reached by road from the town centre and surrounding areas. The R102 and N2 links make it reasonably easy to continue to Mossel Bay's harbour, beaches and other Garden Route destinations.
On-site passenger facilities are limited, so most hotels, restaurants, medical services and shops are found in Mossel Bay town a short drive away. For private flyers, the airport provides a convenient entry point to the coast, including Hartenbos, Pinnacle Point and the wider Garden Route.
