## Description

Anyone moving air freight across the wide farmlands of North West province will use Vryburg as a destination, not a shipping point: VRU is purely a general-aviation field. The town stands at the centre of one of South Africa's largest cattle and maize districts, sometimes called the country's 'Texas'. The airport handles private, charter and agricultural flying, with no scheduled or freight services and no cargo terminal. Regional air freight and chilled produce travel by road to OR Tambo International (JNB) about 350 kilometres east, Africa's leading cargo airport.
