Gweru - Thornhill Air Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.
Gweru - Thornhill Air Base sits at 4,680 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.
Local operations run on Africa/Harare. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
