Flights to Sishen
SIS · Sishen Airport
Sishen Airport sits in the Northern Cape's Kalahari iron-ore belt, purpose-built to serve the vast Kumba Iron Ore mine that dominates the local economy. Airlink runs scheduled flights from Johannesburg almost entirely carrying mining personnel and contractors on shift rotations. Leisure traffic is negligible, though it is occasionally used as a shortcut into the Kalahari by self-drive travellers who want to skip the long road from Upington.
