Swakopmund Airport

Swakopmund Airport (SWP) is a small regional airport serving the coastal town of Swakopmund in western Namibia. It features a single paved asphalt runway designed primarily for light aircraft and regional turboprop operations. The airport operates mainly under visual flight rules, with basic airfield lighting and limited ground-based navigation aids. Its low elevation near the Atlantic coast generally provides favorable aircraft performance conditions. Swakopmund Airport is used mostly for charter flights, private aviation, and scenic flights connecting the Skeleton Coast and nearby desert regions.

The webcam looking towards Runway 024 offers a clear live view of runway activity set against the Namib Desert. Viewers can typically see light general aviation aircraft, including single-engine and light twin-engine planes, taxiing, taking off, and landing. Common aircraft types include Cessna 172, Cessna 206, Cessna Caravan, and similar utility aircraft used for charter and scenic flights. The operators most often visible are local charter and tour companies, such as those flying sightseeing routes along the Skeleton Coast, desert excursions, and private regional connections.
