Location

Ai-Ais, Namibia

Ai-Ais Airport is a small airstrip located near the Ai-Ais Hot Springs Game Park in southern Namibia, close to the southern end of the Fish River Canyon. It primarily serves light aircraft and charter flights catering to tourists visiting the canyon and the hot springs resort. The airport is situated in a remote, arid region of Namibia near the Orange River and the border with South Africa. Its facilities are minimal, reflecting its role as a general aviation and charter destination rather than a commercial hub. Traffic at Ai-Ais Airport is largely seasonal, peaking during the cooler months when the Fish River Canyon hiking trail is open and tourist numbers are highest.
