Year of construction: 2000s
Risk factors: Short runway with displaced threshold, facilities in disrepair

Moshoeshoe’s facilities are in disrepair, and the airport is also understaffed. Moshoeshoe’s runways are in bad shape as well. The runway length at the airport is just 656 feet, and there is a displaced threshold there as well. The Lesotho government is focused on rehabilitating the runways and facilities in time to avoid ICAO closing the venue for good.
