Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Catumbela Airport (regional) | CBT | 14 km (9 mi) | 12,139 ft | 23 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,139 ft, CBT can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 23 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
