## Description

Diamonds made Kimberley, and the city's famous Big Hole still marks where the rush began – but those stones travel under tight security, not through the cargo shed of Kimberley Airport (KIM). The Northern Cape capital's airport, run by ACSA, carries roughly 170,000 passengers a year on Airlink and CemAir services, dominated by the Johannesburg route with about 27 weekly departures. No freighters operate here; air cargo rides in the belly holds of those regional flights, with larger shipments trucked to O. R. Tambo (JNB). For forwarders, Kimberley is a domestic passenger point with modest belly-cargo capacity.
