## Description

Named after the Mzimvubu River town it serves, Port St Johns Airport (IATA: JOH, ICAO: FAPJ) is a small gateway to South Africa's Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape. Its short airstrip at around 1,227 feet handles light aircraft and tourist charters bound for the area's lodges and beaches rather than scheduled commercial traffic. The field has no freight terminal or cargo-handling infrastructure, so air freight plays no meaningful role here. Shippers serving the Wild Coast route consignments through East London Airport (ELS) some 270 km to the southwest or, for international cargo, through OR Tambo (JNB) in Johannesburg. For logistics professionals, JOH is best understood as a leisure feeder, not a cargo point.
