Namibia's gateway to the northeastern Otjozondjupa region.

Location
Grootfontein, Namibia
Grootfontein Airport (IATA: GFY, ICAO: FYGF) is a small regional airport serving the town of Grootfontein in the Otjozondjupa Region of northeastern Namibia. It handles limited scheduled and charter air traffic, connecting the area to Windhoek and other Namibian destinations. The airport plays a modest but important role in providing air access to a region known for its agricultural activity and proximity to the Bushmanland area. Given Grootfontein's relatively small population, the airport primarily serves domestic routes rather than international traffic.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a regional Namibian airport.
Getting to & from
Taxis and private vehicles are the primary means of ground transport between the airport and Grootfontein town center.
