## Description

For freight, the road beats the runway here: Plettenberg Bay's airport is a tourism strip on the Western Cape's Garden Route, not a cargo point. CemAir is the sole scheduled operator (as of 2025), flying mainly in peak season to Johannesburg (about 620 km, roughly 2.5 hours) and Cape Town. The privately run field has no cargo terminal, so shipments travel overland to George (GRJ) some 90 kilometres west, or onward to the Cape Town and Gqeberha hubs. Set above a coastline known for whales and beaches, PBZ stays a seasonal passenger airport in logistics terms.
