Moshoeshoe I International Airport MSU / FXMM

Lesotho's only international/commercial gateway, at Mazenod ~18km SE of Maseru; built 1982 to Boeing 727 standard, replacing the old in-town Mejametalana strip (now used only for Mission Aviation Fellowship-type GA charters, not). Airlink is the sole scheduled carrier, serving only Johannesburg-O.R. Tambo (JNB) — reconfirmed Sep 2026 via flightconnections.com, which states only one airline flies to/from Maseru; an older Wikivoyage reference to South African Airways also flying the route looks stale and was not corroborated. Pax figure (~40,000, 2024) is a rough estimate reflecting this single thin feeder route, not an official DCA-published statistic — treat as approximate pending a primary Lesotho source. Both runways are corroborated by two independent sources (Wikipedia's FXMM infobox and OurAirports' dedicated FXMM runway data): 04/22 (3,200m x 45m asphalt, lighted, with a 200m displaced threshold on the 04 end) carries all scheduled traffic, while 11/29 (1,010m x 23m asphalt, lighted) is too short/narrow for the Airlink jet service and appears to be a legacy/crosswind strip. No ILS is listed on either runway in any source checked — plan non-precision/visual approaches until checked against a current AIP chart. Coordinates cross-checked against OurAirports (-29.456277, 27.554456, rounding to the values used here); Wikipedia's separately-derived DMS conversion (-29.4622, 27.5525) differs slightly, within normal ARP-vs-reference-point tolerance. Operator identity is limited to the Wikipedia-listed Department of Civil Aviation; no dedicated airport-authority phone, email or website could be independently confirmed. Revenue Services Lesotho (the customs/tax authority, a separate agency) publishes a Mazenod inland-port contact and posted hours that likely describe the airport's customs/immigration desk rather than airport operations — noted under `hours` for context but deliberately not used to populate `operator` or `contact`, since it is not the airport operator. Exact tower hours, PPR requirements and instrument minima were still not independently confirmed against a current Lesotho AIP/NOTAM — verify before ops.
