Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport PLZ / FAPE

South Africa's self-styled 'ten-minute airport' — south of central Gqeberha and ACSA's Eastern Cape gateway, a FlySafair/SAA focus point also served by Airlink and CemAir on domestic/regional trunk routes (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban) — confirmed via Wikipedia and airports.co.za. A 'fully compliant international arrivals and departures terminal' is confirmed on airports.co.za, but no scheduled long-haul international route was confirmed, so treat 'international' as facility capability rather than a guaranteed route. Renamed from Port Elizabeth International Airport on 23 Feb 2021 (gazetted), in honour of 19th-century Khoi/Xhosa resistance leader Chief Dawid Stuurman — confirmed exactly against Wikipedia. CORRECTED THIS PASS, in order of importance: (1) Runway 08/26 length — the incoming draft had already 'corrected' this to 1,980m, citing SkyVector, ACUKWIK and independent coordinate geometry as all converging there; none of that could be reproduced. Two independent sources actually checked — the Wikipedia infobox and OurAirports.com — both give 2,160m / 7,087ft for 08/26, so the figure has been reverted to 2,160m. The draft's 'correction' appears to have been unsupported and is itself the error. (2) The RWY08 'ILS CAT II' claim, sourced by the draft to 'the current SACAA instrument approach chart' — that chart was not accessible, and no independently-checked source confirmed a CAT II (as opposed to CAT I or no ILS) approach, so this is downgraded to unconfirmed rather than stated as fact. (3) The named 'airport manager' (draft: Claudia Daniels, cited to AIP AD 2.2) — not found on any accessible source; dropped rather than repeated unverified. (4) Contact email — airports.co.za's own contact details list only the generic 'customercare@airports.co.za'; no airport-specific address (the draft's 'fape@airports.co.za') was found anywhere, so the record now carries the confirmed generic address. The phone number +27 41 507 7348 IS independently confirmed (listed as the airport office number on airports.co.za). (5) AIP attribution — South Africa's AIP is produced by ATNS, the air navigation service provider, not by SACAA (the safety regulator) as the draft stated; corrected. The specific AMDT 3/26 / 15 Jul 2026 cycle claim could not be reconfirmed and is flagged as unverified. (6) The 'R4.6bn Terminal Capacity Optimisation project' with a 26 Jun 2026 launch date — not found on ACSA's site or in any accessible news source; removed rather than repeated unverified. Independently confirmed and left unchanged: IATA/ICAO PLZ/FAPE; coordinates and elevation (229ft/70m — within normal cross-source tolerance, other sources cluster around 33.985 to 33.990S / 25.610 to 25.617E); runway 17/35 at 1,677m/5,502ft; both runways 46m wide, asphalt; the 8,700 sqm terminal with 13 bays and ACSA's stated ~2,000,000 pax/yr post-upgrade capacity; ACSA as operator; passenger count of 1,586,070 for FY2025/26 (exact match against Wikipedia); the website URL (confirmed live and current); and the Feb 2021 renaming. Not, carried forward from prior research: the granular AIP AD 2.2/2.3 operating-hours detail (customs call-out window, admin hours, microlight remark), and whether Avgas 100LL is available alongside Jet A-1 — no working access to the live eAIP South Africa chart; flag for a follow-up check against a current AD 2 chart before treating as final.
