Small airstrip serving Zimbabwe's former copper mining town.

Location
Mhangura, Zimbabwe
Mhangura Airport is a small general aviation airstrip located in Mhangura, a town in Mashonaland West Province of Zimbabwe. It is identified by the ICAO code FVGM and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its limited commercial operations. The airport primarily served the local community and mining industry associated with the Mhangura Copper Mine, which was a significant economic driver for the region. Following the decline of copper mining operations in the area, both the town and its airstrip experienced reduced activity. The facility is a basic airstrip with minimal infrastructure, typical of small rural Zimbabwean aerodromes. It is not served by scheduled commercial airline services and functions primarily as a general aviation or emergency landing facility.
