Small general aviation airport serving the Uitenhage district.
Location
Uitenhage, South Africa
Uitenhage Airport (ICAO: FAUH) is a small general aviation airfield located near Uitenhage, a town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It primarily serves private and light aircraft operations rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
The airport is situated in a region historically known for its automotive manufacturing industry, particularly the Volkswagen South Africa plant. It supports local flying clubs, charter operations, and private aviation needs for the surrounding area.
Uitenhage lies relatively close to Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha), which is served by Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, the main commercial hub for the region. Uitenhage Airport therefore functions as a supplementary general aviation facility.
