About Selebi-Phikwe Airport
Selebi-Phikwe Airport is a small public airport serving the town of Selebi-Phikwe in Botswana's Central District. It functions mainly as a gateway for charter flights, private aviation, mining-related travel and tourism traffic heading to safari areas such as the nearby Tuli Block, rather than as a scheduled commercial hub.
The airport sits about 12 km southeast of the town centre and has a single asphalt runway, designated 12/30 and measuring approximately 1,780 metres. It has historically supported mining-related traffic from the BCL operation and continues to serve corporate, government and private aircraft movements.
Because no scheduled airline services currently operate from the airport, most travellers arrive by private charter, company aircraft or organised transfer. Road connections link the airport to Selebi-Phikwe town, and onward travel to lodges, Francistown and other parts of eastern Botswana is generally made by private vehicle or pre-arranged transfer.
Facilities are modest, with one terminal building offering basic check-in, waiting areas, light refreshments and car rental options. The airport's role is primarily regional, connecting Selebi-Phikwe and surrounding tourism destinations to the wider aviation network.
