## Description

Flowers, oysters, fish and berries are the freight that matters at George Airport (GRJ/FAGG), where a cold storage facility serves the Garden Route's perishable exports and passenger traffic reached a best-ever 911,354 in 2025. Cargo moves as belly load on domestic services by FlySafair, Airlink and CemAir to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Lanseria; no dedicated freighter operation or standalone cargo terminal is confirmed here. Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) runs the site and logged about 26,810 aircraft movements in the 2025-26 financial year. A terminal expansion worth roughly ZAR 310 million is due to start in October 2026 and finish by July 2028, close to doubling the building. Road carries the hinterland: Cape Town (CPT) lies around 430 km west on the N2 and Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth (PLZ) some 330 km east, so intercontinental consolidation and customs clearance normally happen at CPT or Johannesburg (JNB). Since 2015 the airport has drawn part of its electricity from an on-site solar plant of roughly 2,000 panels.
