Oranjemund Airport guide

Oranjemund Airport (ICAO: FYOG) serves the diamond mining town of Oranjemund in southwestern Namibia, on the northern bank of the Orange River mouth at the South African border. The airport sits at about 4 metres above sea level on a coastal plain.

It has a single asphalt runway, 02/20, that is 1,600 metres long. The airport was built to serve the mining operations of Namdeb, formerly Consolidated Diamond Mines, which ran the town until 2017. The surrounding coast was closed to the public as restricted diamond territory for most of the last century, and the town was proclaimed open in 2011.

Passenger service is thin. The airport once had scheduled flights to Cape Town, Luderitz, Walvis Bay and Windhoek. By 2023 only the link to Eros Airport in Windhoek remained, flown by FlyNamibia. Westair Aviation began three weekly flights on the route in June 2019. Schedules change often, so confirm with the airline before you book. No passenger or movement statistics are published.
