Airports near George

Flying directly into George vs wider regional options

George Airport (GRJ) is the local passenger airport for George, positioned 9 km in a straight line from the city’s mapped reference coordinate. Confirm live flights for your travel date before booking, as airline schedules at regional and domestic terminals vary by day of the week.

Because GRJ is only 9 km from the George reference coordinate, the second and third airports shown above—Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ) at 291 km and Cape Town International Airport (CPT) at 356 km—sit 282 km or more farther away in other districts and are only relevant if your itinerary combines multiple regions.

Our 36-airport directory also includes Mossel Bay Airport (MZY) at 43 km (No regular flights listed) and Oudtshoorn Airport (OUH) at 47 km (No regular flights listed). Because those airfields do not have confirmed regular passenger flights in this snapshot, they are listed separately below rather than ranked as standard airline options.
