Gateway to the Garden Route's premier coastal resort town.

Location

Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

Plettenberg Bay Airport (IATA: PBZ, ICAO: FAPG) is a small regional airport serving Plettenberg Bay, a popular coastal holiday destination situated along South Africa's scenic Garden Route in the Western Cape province. The airport handles light aircraft, charter flights, and limited scheduled services connecting the town to larger South African cities. The facility is modest in scale, catering primarily to general aviation and seasonal tourist traffic during peak holiday periods. Its location near the Indian Ocean coastline makes it a convenient entry point for visitors to the Plettenberg Bay area, known for its beaches, nature reserves, and outdoor activities. Due to its relatively short runway and limited infrastructure, the airport is served by smaller regional aircraft. Larger gateway airports such as George Airport and Cape Town International Airport are commonly used by travellers requiring broader connectivity.
