Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (IATA code: PLZ, ICAO code: FAPE), formerly known as H. F. Verwoerd Airport and Port Elizabeth International Airport, is an airport serving Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), a city in the Eastern Cape province in South Africa. It is located approximately two miles south of the city's central business district.
There are 13 aircraft parking bays on the apron and the terminal building measures 8,700 square metres (94,000 square feet). The modern terminal upgrade was completed in June 2004 allowing the airport to handle up to 2 million passengers a year.
In 2019, the airport saw a peak in the number of passengers passing through its gates right before the outbreak of covid-19 pandemic; and that was about 1.7 million.
