Katima Mulilo Airport - Caprivi Strip, Namibia

Katima Mulilo Airport (IATA: MPA, ICAO: FYKM) is a small regional airport located near Katima Mulilo, the main town in the Zambezi Region (formerly Caprivi Strip) of northeastern Namibia. The airport serves as a gateway to this remote and wildlife-rich area, particularly for travelers heading to destinations such as Chobe National Park in Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe. It lies approximately 18 kilometers south of Katima Mulilo town, and it is an important hub for both domestic flights and regional connections.

Katima Mulilo Airport has a single asphalt runway (1,829 meters in length), capable of handling smaller aircraft. The airport primarily supports local air traffic and charter flights, with limited commercial service. It plays a crucial role in connecting the Zambezi Region to the rest of Namibia, as road travel can be long and challenging due to the remote location. This airport facilitates access to the Zambezi River, safari lodges, and conservancies, making it a key part of the tourism infrastructure in this wildlife-rich area.

The airport is relatively basic in terms of facilities, providing essential services to travelers but lacking the extensive amenities found in larger international airports. It serves as an important link for both locals and tourists, connecting them to Namibia's capital, Windhoek, and other regional hubs.
