Small regional airstrip serving central Namibia's Hardap region.

Location
Mariental, Namibia
Mariental Airport (ICAO: FYML) is a small general aviation airstrip located near Mariental, the administrative capital of the Hardap Region in central Namibia. It serves light aircraft operations and occasional charter flights, providing basic air access to this semi-arid area situated along the Fish River. The airport handles no scheduled commercial airline services and lacks the infrastructure of larger Namibian airports such as Hosea Kutako International in Windhoek. It primarily supports private pilots, agricultural aviation, and light charter operations serving the surrounding farming and tourism communities. Mariental itself is located approximately 270 kilometres south of Windhoek along the B1 highway, and road transport remains the primary means of reaching the town. The airport plays a supplementary role in regional connectivity for Namibia's interior.
