Remote airstrip serving the rugged Hartmann Valley region.
Location
Otjinhungwa, Namibia
Hartmann Valley Airstrip (ICAO: FYHV) is a small, unpaved general aviation airstrip located near Otjinhungwa in northwestern Namibia. It serves the extremely remote Hartmann Valley, which lies within the Kunene Region along the Angolan border, an area characterized by dramatic desert scenery and sparse population.
The airstrip primarily supports light aircraft operations, providing access to the surrounding wilderness for safari operators, conservation workers, and occasionally tourists visiting the area. Road access to this region is extremely challenging, making the airstrip a critical link for those working or traveling in the area.
The facility is basic in nature, with no commercial airline services or formal passenger terminal infrastructure. It functions as a bush airstrip typical of those found throughout remote parts of Namibia.
Getting to & from
