## Description

Once the capital of the former Ciskei homeland, Bisho today sees only limited scheduled traffic. Its airport, BIY, in the Eastern Cape near King William's Town, has no meaningful cargo handling. Regional freight instead moves through East London (ELS) some 60 km away, or through Johannesburg (JNB). For forwarders, BIY is not a standalone handling point.
