Towns listed near UTT
Among the towns published on this site, the nearest reference points are Mthatha at 12 km; Kokstad at 132 km; Queenstown at 174 km. That is the fixed town list, not a claim about every settlement in the country.
Don't carry the Mthatha figure over to Kokstad. The listed distances are 12 km and 132 km. They are different reference points, so the shorter one is not the distance to the second town. Mthatha is the associated place name on the airport record, not the location of every hotel.
Other passenger airports near UTT
Airport-to-airport distance, measured from this airport's reference point to the other airport, puts King Phalo Airport (ELS) at 184 km; Pietermaritzburg Airport (PZB) at 268 km; King Shaka International Airport (DUR) at 318 km next. Do not mix those figures with a town-to-airport distance.
