The region is also a national distribution hub for products such as flowers, fish, oysters, herbs and ferns which are all found in this beautiful part of the country. Although the Airport is not an International Airport it still serves as a link to most of the major cities in South Africa

The airport which was built in 1977 as an exact replica of the Keetmanshoop Airport in Namibia was formerly known as P.W. Botha Airport, named after the state president who lived in this part of the country. It has since grown to the busy hub it is today handling over 600,000 passengers each year. This steady growth, coupled with its unwavering commitment to service and efficiency, has won George Airport the South African Airport of the Year award six times.
