## Description

Set in the Olifants River farming district of South Africa's West Coast, Vredendal Airport (VRE) serves a region known for wine, rooibos, citrus and early-season vegetables. It is a small general-aviation field used for agricultural flying and private and charter movements, without scheduled passenger or freight services or a cargo terminal. Export produce leaves the area mainly by road toward Cape Town, and air freight is handled at Cape Town International (CPT) some 300 kilometres to the south. For logistics planners, Vredendal is a rural general-aviation base rather than a cargo point.
