List of South African airports by passenger movements

The following is a list of South African airports by passenger movements.

Statistics edit

All information below is sourced from the annual statistics published by the Airports Company South Africa. Figures are between 1 April and 31 March the following year.[1] Airports not controlled by the Airports Company South Africa do not generally publish or are delayed when updating their passenger statistics. Airports without official statistics have been displayed as current seat capacity on regularly scheduled flights.[2][3] These seats, although not always full, give an accurate number of passengers expected.
