KNOWN AS THE 10-minute airport, Port Elizabeth Internatio­nal Airport is situated within five minutes’ drive from both the city’s central business district and beach front, and less than 10 minutes’ drive from most of its most pre-eminent neighbourh­oods.

It currently handles more than 1.2 million passengers, 60,000 scheduled flights and 800 tonnes of associated cargo per annum, these numbers having spiked since 2010 following the municipali­ties key involvemen­t in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

This, coupled with a general increase in tourism, led to facility expansions being made at the airport. Resultantl­y, its terminals can now handle up to two million passengers every year, housing a dedicated internatio­nal arrivals and departures terminal to complement its upgraded amenities for domestic traffic. certainly have you planning your next trip back before you have even left.
