Oudtshoorn Airport (OUH)

Oudtshoorn Airport (OUH) is a civil aviation facility located approximately 2 miles (3 km) southeast of the town center in the Western Cape of South Africa. The airport features a modest terminal building that primarily serves as the administrative hub for the Oudtshoorn Aero Club and various flight training schools. It acts as a vital regional base for private charters, recreational flying, and general aviation operations within the Klein Karoo region. The terminal infrastructure is functional and focused on supporting non-scheduled flight activities, offering basic waiting areas and administrative offices for pilots and crews. While the facility lacks on-site commercial shops, restaurants, or passenger lounges, travelers have access to credit card payment facilities for landing and parking fees. Most passenger amenities, including extensive dining and lodging options, are conveniently located in the nearby town of Oudtshoorn. Operationally, the airport features a single 5,581-foot (1,701m) asphalt runway (04/22) equipped with medium-intensity landing lights that typically activate automatically at sunset. The facility maintains on-site refueling capabilities for both AVGAS 100LL and Jet A1. Ground transportation is informal, with no dedicated shuttle services; visitors typically utilize local taxi providers or arrange private vehicle pickups from the town center.
