Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (IATA: MQP, ICAO: FAKN) is located 57km north east of Nelspruit in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Construction began in 2001[1] and it replaced the smaller Nelspruit airport. It now serves travelers to Kruger National Park. There are scheduled passenger flights to other South African cities as well as regional destinations.
The airport terminal, although small, is roofed almost entirely by thatch, making it the largest thatched structure in Africa, covering approximately 7000m2.
