## Description

While the port of Lüderitz is being rebuilt for green hydrogen and ammonia exports, its airport stays firmly on the margins of the freight world. Lüderitz Airport (IATA: LUD, ICAO: FYLZ) handles only light regional and charter traffic and has no cargo facilities; there is no commercial air freight. The heavy flows of this emerging energy region — the Hyphen project targets some 300,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year from 2026, and port capacity is set to double to six million tonnes by 2027 — move by sea and road, not by air. Forwarders needing airfreight route through Windhoek's Hosea Kutako International (WDH), about 830 km inland.
