What the later Richards Bay results are for

King Shaka International Airport (DUR) is the second result, in the same province, at 128 km. Pietermaritzburg Airport (PZB) is third at 186 km. Being third in this list is not a claim that the airport is a convenient alternative.

Staying in Durban instead? Open that comparison. Its closest passenger airport is King Shaka International Airport (DUR) at 28 km, not a copy of the Richards Bay figure.

How to read the Richards Bay gap

The gap from RCB to DUR is 121 km, measured between the unrounded distances and then rounded. Use it to see how far apart the first two options are. It is not a driving time, and it says nothing about which flight is on sale.

Mkuze Airport (MZQ) has flights listed in the airport source, and it sits 129 km from this town point, but it is not in the passenger comparison. Confirm a current route with the airline before you treat it as an option. It is kept off the ranking above on purpose.
