Hendrik Swellengrebel Airport

Hendrik Swellengrebel Airport is a small general aviation airfield located near Swellendam, a historic town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It serves private pilots, light aircraft operations, and occasional charter flights in the Overberg region. The airport is named after Hendrik Swellengrebel, the Dutch-born Governor of the Cape Colony in the eighteenth century, after whom the town of Swellendam is also named. The facility caters primarily to recreational and private aviation rather than scheduled commercial services. Given its small size and limited infrastructure, the airport does not operate commercial airline routes and lacks the passenger terminal facilities associated with larger South African airports.
