## Description

Diamonds define Alexander Bay. Set at South Africa's far north-western tip where the Orange River meets the Atlantic, the airport supports Alexkor's land, river, beach and marine diamond operations. There is no commercial cargo terminal; high-value parcels move under security on passenger or charter flights, while general air freight is routed through Cape Town (CPT). For forwarders, ALJ is a specialised feeder field rather than a handling hub.
