Location

Klerksdorp, South Africa

P C Pelser Airport is a small regional airport serving Klerksdorp, a city in the North West Province of South Africa historically associated with gold and uranium mining. The airport is named after Pieter Cornelius Pelser, a South African politician who served as Minister of Mines. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily serving business travelers and regional connections. It operates under the oversight of South African civil aviation authorities and serves as an important link for a region where road distances to major hubs like Johannesburg are considerable. Due to the relatively small population catchment and proximity to OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, scheduled commercial services at P C Pelser have been limited over the years, with the airport seeing more general aviation and charter activity than high-volume passenger traffic.
