Flights to Kariega
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kariega is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ), 33 km (21 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,087 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport | PLZ | 33 km (21 mi) | 7,087 ft | 226 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,087 ft, PLZ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 226 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
