Pietermaritzburg Airport (IATA: PZB, ICAO: FAPM) is the primary airport serving the city of Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas, including the Midlands and the outer west areas of Durban. Pietermaritzburg Airport is the only airport in the greater Pietermaritzburg area that offers scheduled passenger services. In 2013 the terminal building and apron were upgraded.[1]
In 2020, Pietermaritzburg Airport was one of the few airports authorised to open for domestic travel by the South African government in relation to the relaxing of COVID-19 lockdown measures.[2]
