Sishen Airport — Sishen, South Africa

Sishen Airport, using the code SIS, is located in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, near the town of Kathu, and primarily serves the region's extensive iron ore mining operations. Owned and operated in connection with major mining companies in the area, the airport facilitates the transport of personnel and equipment to and from remote mining sites in this sparsely populated part of South Africa. Sishen is home to one of the largest iron ore mines in the country, and the airport's existence is closely tied to sustaining this industrial activity. SIS handles limited scheduled and charter flights, functioning less as a public gateway and more as essential infrastructure for the mining workforce and logistics chain.
