Flights to Pietermaritzburg
PZB · Pietermaritzburg Airport
Pietermaritzburg Airport (Oribi) sits 5km south of the KwaZulu-Natal capital, a city best known as the provincial legislative seat and Gandhi's 1893 turning point where he was thrown off a train. CemAir and Airlink run weekday flights from Johannesburg driven almost entirely by government, legal and education business; weekend traffic is light. Most leisure travellers to the Midlands Meander and Drakensberg instead use King Shaka or Durban.
