## Description

Named after Johan Pienaar, the local farmer who donated the land in the late 1940s, Kuruman's airport (KMH) remains a modest single-runway, single-terminal field in the Northern Cape. It handles general aviation, charters, medical-evacuation flights and pilot training rather than commercial schedules. There are no freighter services or cargo facilities here; air freight for the surrounding manganese-mining district routes through Upington (UTN) or O. R. Tambo International (JNB). For forwarders, Kuruman's heavy minerals move by rail and road, leaving the airfield to light aircraft and air-ambulance work.
