Charles Prince (FVCP) is Harare's small secondary and sport aviation field, roughly 20 km north-west of the city centre at Mount Hampden and about 1,477 m above sea level. It handles general aviation, flight training, charter and air ambulance work; there is no IATA code, no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no customs post, so cargo relevance is slight. Zimbabwe's air freight, including its flower and fresh produce exports, is handled at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in Harare (HRE), with Bulawayo (BUQ) and Victoria Falls (VFA) as further options.
