airport_desc | Qacha's Nek Airport is a public aviation facility located in the region of Qacha's Nek, Lesotho. Nestled at an elevation of 6100 feet above sea level, the airport primarily serves the surrounding mountainous areas, facilitating both passenger travel and freight transport. Due to its high-altitude location, the airport presents unique operational challenges, including variable weather conditions and thin air, which can affect aircraft performance. The airport plays a vital role in connecting the remote communities of this part of Lesotho to the rest of the country, supporting economic activities and access to essential services. |
