About Sehonghong Airport
Sehonghong Airport is a small public airstrip serving the village of Sehonghong in Thaba-Tseka District, in the eastern highlands of Lesotho. With the IATA code SHK and ICAO code FXSH, it provides an air link to one of the country's remote mountain areas.
The airfield sits at an elevation of about 1,981 metres (6,500 feet) and has two unpaved runways. It is used mainly for domestic and community flights rather than large commercial airline operations, and its basic facilities reflect its role as a rural airstrip.
Sehonghong is located roughly 130 kilometres east of the capital Maseru, and the airport lies near Qacha's Nek and the town of Thaba-Tseka. Road transfers and four-wheel-drive vehicles are the main way to continue to surrounding villages and towns, as mountain roads can make travel slow.
For visitors and local residents, the airport offers a practical connection in a region with limited transport options, linking remote highland communities to larger centres across Lesotho.
