Flights to Port Elizabeth
PLZ · Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport
Chief Dawid Stuurman International (still widely called PE Airport) is unusually close to the city — just 3km from the Gqeberha CBD and walking distance from Summerstrand's beachfront hotels. It is the main air gateway to the Eastern Cape, Addo Elephant Park and the Garden Route's eastern end, served primarily by FlySafair, Lift, CemAir and Airlink. Most traffic is domestic business and leisure from Johannesburg and Cape Town; there are no scheduled international flights, so overseas visitors typically connect via JNB or CPT.
