Eros Airport or Windhoek Eros Airport (IATA: ERS, ICAO: FYWE) is an airport in Windhoek, Namibia. It is a busy hub of general aviation and one of the busiest airports in the SADC region. Eros is the host to commercial, private, and scheduled traffic ranging from high performance jet aircraft to Cessna 152 trainers.
The airport handles approximately 150 to 200 movements per day (around 50,000 per year).
The majority of traffic comes from the general aviation charter market, consisting mainly of the Cessna 210 aircraft, which is the most commonly used aircraft for charter and fly-in safaris in Namibia.
Eros is an alternate for Windhoek International Airport in VMC conditions. The largest passenger aircraft to land at Eros is the Boeing 737 on a diversion from Windhoek International due to strong crosswinds and windshear.
In 2004, the airport served 141,605 passengers.
