Richards Bay Airport (FARB) is a medium airport in Richards Bay, South Africa. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code FARB or IATA code RCB. It sits in Africa.

Richards Bay Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.
