Anchored by King Shaka International Airport, and KwaZulu-Natal’s Dube TradePort Special Economic Zone, the Durban Aerotropolis is strategically located between two of the largest seaports in Africa.

The first being the commercial port of Durban - approximately 35km /21,7 miles away and immediately adjacent to the city centre in the south - and the second being the industrial port of Richards Bay - situated about 140km to the north, this forms the heart of the emergent Durban Aerotropolis, which resides within a larger regional context and has a radius of one-hour travel time from its airport epicentre.
