## Description

Selebi-Phikwe grew up around copper and nickel mining, and when the BCL mine entered liquidation in 2016 the town lost its economic engine; its airport (PKW) has been quiet ever since. The field mainly sees charter and private flights, with no scheduled passenger or cargo service. There is no freight terminal, so shipments move by road or through Gaborone (GBE) and onward via South Africa's O. R. Tambo (JNB). Authorities are promoting recovery through the SPEDU special economic zone. For now, PKW carries no independent significance for freight forwarders.
