Wonderboom Airport (IATA: PRY, ICAO: FAWB) is a general aviation airport about 10 km north of Pretoria's CBD in Gauteng, South Africa. Established in the 1930s, it was Pretoria's primary airport before commercial services shifted to Johannesburg, and today it supports flight training, charter, private aircraft, and maintenance. Its compact terminal and convenient location make it a practical base for non-scheduled flying in the Pretoria region.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors often use the airport's viewing or café area to watch training circuits, but confirm fuel, handling, and after-hours access with your operator in advance—services can be limited outside normal hours.
🚖 Getting There
By road, access Wonderboom Airport from the R21 or N1 and follow local signs to Airport Road; parking is available at the terminal area. There is no rail link, so e-hailing, metered taxis, or hotel shuttles are the usual options. Allow extra time during weekday peak periods because traffic in Pretoria North and on the R21 can be slow.
