Richards Bay Airport

Richards Bay Airport (IATA: RCB, ICAO: FARB) is an airport in Richards Bay, South Africa.

It is independently managed and not part of the network of larger airports operated by the parastatal Airports Company South Africa (ACSA).

The Airport is also home to one of the only aviation maintenance companies in the Northern KwaZulu-Natal, Alton Aero Engineering.

South African Airlink used to fly the only scheduled flight service in and out of Richards Bay, using a fleet of Embraer E170 jet and BAe Jetstream 41 aircraft.

The expansion project however, has been put on hold pending an outcome to the issue of the local township of Mandlanzini, with residents having settled in the path of the intended runway extension.
