The Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (SSKIA) is strategically positioned for business, combining advanced airport facilities with proximity to Botswana’s diamond hub. This makes SSKIA an attractive location for industries handling high value-to-volume products, such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electronics, and electrical equipment, benefiting from efficient air transport infrastructure.

With the growth of the manufacturing sector and increased liberalisation of the aviation industry, SSKIA has evolved into an aerotropolis, featuring integrated logistics that support businesses in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and in Gaborone. The SSKIA SEZ stands out as a regional centre of excellence, offering business incubation, retail and e-commerce ecosystems, and certification services. It serves as Botswana’s alternate gateway to Southern and Eastern Africa and functions as an innovation hub with high-capacity infrastructure and a complete high-tech industrial ecosystem.
