Remote gateway to Botswana's vast Sua Pan salt flats.

Location
Sowa, Botswana
Sua Pan Airport (IATA: SXN, ICAO: FBSN) is a small regional airport serving the town of Sowa (also spelled Sua) in the northeastern part of Botswana, near the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans. The airport provides essential air access to a remote industrial and administrative area that would otherwise be difficult to reach quickly by road. The airport is situated close to Sua Pan, one of the largest salt pans in the world and part of the greater Makgadikgadi Basin. The surrounding region is notable for soda ash extraction operations, which have historically driven some of the limited commercial traffic at this facility. Due to its remote location and small catchment population, Sua Pan Airport sees very limited scheduled passenger traffic and primarily serves charter, light aircraft, and occasional regional operations.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small-scale terminal facility suited to light regional and charter traffic with minimal passenger amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Sowa town is limited, with road access being the primary means of travel between the airport and local destinations.
