Civilian cargo handling is effectively absent. The region's industry — steel and ferrochrome around Kwekwe and Redcliff — moves its goods by road and rail to Harare, where air freight is consolidated at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport. Sitting at about 4'680 ft, Thornhill also serves as a pilot-training station.
