Malamala Airport
Malamala Airport is a bush airfield in Mpumalanga, in South Africa's northeast, where the single runway sits at 1,124 feet above sea level. Scheduled airline service barely reaches this out-of-the-way corner of the province, so light aircraft make up nearly everything that lands here. Mpumalanga stretches across a mix of highveld and lowveld terrain, and Malamala sits toward the lower, warmer end of that range. Categorized as medium despite the quiet traffic, the field mainly exists to spare travelers a long road transfer from Johannesburg or Nelspruit.
