About Oudtshoorn Airport
Oudtshoorn Airport is a small regional aerodrome serving the town of Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo region of South Africa's Western Cape. It mainly handles general aviation, private charters, flying training and flight testing rather than scheduled commercial airline services. Located about 3 km from the town centre, the airport gives pilots and private travellers direct access to Oudtshoorn's ostrich farms, the Cango Caves and Route 62. It has a single asphalt runway, designated 04/22 and roughly 1,700 m long, which can accommodate light and medium aircraft as well as private jets. Road access is straightforward, with car rental available at the airfield and the town only a short drive away. For scheduled flights, George Airport lies about 50 km away and links the region to major South African cities. The airport is operated on behalf of Oudtshoorn Municipality, with its management contracted to the Test Flying Academy of South Africa since 2024. Its compact size means short walking distances and minimal queues, although passenger facilities are limited compared with larger commercial airports.
