## Description

Home to flying schools and the general-aviation community of South Africa's North West province, Potchefstroom Airport (IATA: PCF, ICAO: FAPS) works mainly as a training and recreational field with a single asphalt runway of about 1,481 metres. Sitting at around 4,520 feet near the university town of Potchefstroom, it serves light aircraft and private operators rather than commercial freight, and there is no cargo terminal or scheduled cargo service. Air freight for the region is consolidated through OR Tambo (JNB) outside Johannesburg, roughly 120 km east and the country's leading cargo airport. For shippers, PCF is a general-aviation base, not a freight option.
