Gateway to the Diamond City of South Africa.
Location
Kimberley, South Africa
Kimberley Airport (IATA: KIM, ICAO: FAKM) serves Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape province of South Africa. It provides essential air connectivity for the region, linking the city to major South African hubs such as Johannesburg and Cape Town.
