About Sua Pan Airport
Sua Pan Airport is a small private airport serving the town of Sowa and the surrounding Sua Pan area in Botswana's Central District. It is located about 11 km west of Sowa town centre, close to the vast salt flats of the Sua Pan.
The airport's single asphalt runway lies between the north and south basins of the Sua Pan, a salt pan where sodium carbonate, or soda ash, is mined. This location makes the airport an important access point for the town of Sowa and for mining and business activity in the region, alongside charter and private flight operations.
The facility is compact, with a small passenger building and basic services, and it mainly handles domestic and charter traffic rather than large scheduled international operations. Travelers should expect simple check-in, security and arrival procedures suited to a small regional airport.
Road access connects the airport to Sowa town centre in roughly 15–20 minutes, with onward routes toward Francistown and the wider Makgadikgadi region. For independent travel, private transfers, chauffeur services and rental cars provide practical ways to continue the journey.
