Richards Bay Airport

Richards Bay Airport (IATA: RCB), established in the early 1970s, is a compact regional airport serving the industrial port city of Richards Bay in KwaZulu‑Natal. With a single small terminal and one runway, it handles scheduled domestic flights and private charters for business and coastal tourism. The airport sits a short drive from the town center and harbour, linked by local roads and the N2 corridor to Durban and surrounding towns, with car hire, shuttle operators and minibus taxis available for transfers. Generally seen as an affordable option for regional travel, RCB is regularly served by Airlink and other smaller regional carriers rather than acting as a major hub.
