## Description

Helicopter operators, flight schools and corporate charter firms are the main users of Virginia Airport, a compact municipal field in Durban North on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. It handles general aviation only, with no scheduled passenger or freight services and no cargo terminal. Air freight for the Durban conurbation moves through King Shaka International (DUR) to the north, while the adjacent Port of Durban – the largest in sub-Saharan Africa – carries the bulk of the region's trade. For forwarders, Virginia is an inner-city general-aviation base rather than a cargo option.
