Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mdantsane is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is King Phalo Airport (ELS), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,362 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| King Phalo Airport | ELS | 12 km (7 mi) | 6,362 ft | 435 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,362 ft, ELS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 435 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
