The second and third airports in the comparison—Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ) at 320 km and Cape Town International Airport (CPT) at 327 km—sit 291 km or more farther from Mossel Bay than GRJ. They are relevant mainly if your trip starts or finishes in another region rather than as direct transfers for Mossel Bay alone.

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.
