Francistown Airport (Francistown Airport)
Phillip Gaonwe Matante International Airport, also known as Francistown International Airport, serves Francistown, Botswana. The airport is on the western edge of the city.
The new terminal building opened in 2011 and the old terminal at the eastern end of the airport was transferred to the Botswana Defence Force. There are no jet bridges, thus passengers must walk from the terminal to designated parking areas on the tarmac in front of the terminal. A new control tower was built next to the new terminal.
The passenger terminal has an arrival and departure hall. A small retail area hosts car rental companies, an ATM and a post office.
Other tenants include Customs and Excise, Immigration, Meteorological Service Office, Air BP Fuels, and Air Botswana Offices.

A country of slightly over 2.3 million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. About 11.6 percent of the population lives in the capital and largest city, Gaborone. Formerly one of the world's poorest countries—with a GDP per capita of about US$70 per year in the late 1960s—it has since transformed itself into an upper-middle-income country, with one of the world's fastest-growing economies.
