## Description

Barkly East lies in the highlands of South Africa's Eastern Cape, and its airfield is a small landing ground for private and charter flights with no scheduled service. There is no cargo handling, no customs post and no traffic data, so freight relevance is low. Regional air freight goes through East London (ELS) some 250 km to the south-east or Bloemfontein (BFN) at a similar distance to the north-west, with intercontinental volumes via Johannesburg O. R. Tambo (JNB).
