## Description

Road and rail, not aircraft, carry most freight through Francistown, and the P G Matante International Airport (FRW) reflects that. Botswana's second city sits on the historic north-south railway linking the country to Zimbabwe and South Africa, so surface transport along this corridor dominates goods movement. The airport handles regional scheduled and charter flights with only marginal commercial cargo and no significant freight terminal. Air shipments for the northeast generally route through Gaborone (GBE) and onward via South Africa's O. R. Tambo (JNB). For forwarders, FRW is chiefly a regional passenger airport supported by strong land links.
