Rundu Airport guide

Rundu Airport (ICAO: FYRU) is the only airport in Namibia's Kavango regions. It sits on the Okavango River plateau at an elevation of 1,106 metres, a few kilometres southwest of the town centre, with the border with Angola close to the north.

The airport has one active runway, 08/26, a 3,055-metre asphalt strip with an extra 300 metres of displaced threshold on runway 26 available for take-off. A second, grass runway 18/36 is closed. There are no instrument flight procedures, so operations depend on visual conditions. A non-directional beacon north of the field, across the border in Angola, supports navigation.

Scheduled traffic is light. FlyNamibia links Rundu with Windhoek Eros, and the airport handled 843 passengers in 2025. Like the other regional airports in Namibia, it runs at a loss. Namibia Airports Company describes the field as able to take medium-sized tourist and cargo aircraft, and it has earmarked Rundu for cargo flights between Windhoek, South Africa, Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Fuel and storage facilities are available, and customs and immigration services operate on request.
