Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport (IATA: WDH, ICAO: FYWH) is the main international airport serving the Namibian capital city of Windhoek. Located 45 kilometres outside the city, it is Namibia's leading airport with international connections and handled 514,000 passengers in 2004. The airport is named after Herero leader Hosea Kutako.
Few, if any, domestic flights pass through Hosea Kutako Airport as those are predominantly handled at the smaller Windhoek Eros Airport. Public buses connect both airports to each other and to downtown Windhoek.
