Flights to Kimberley
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kimberley is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kimberley Airport (KIM), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kimberley Airport | KIM | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,843 ft | 3,950 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, KIM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 3,950 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
