Airport in Uganda
Kisoro Airport (ICAO: HUKI) is an airport serving the town of Kisoro in Uganda and nearby Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. It is in extreme southwestern Uganda, 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of the Rwanda border, and approximately 343 kilometres (213 mi) by air southwest of Entebbe International Airport, the country's largest civilian and military airport.[4]
It is one of twelve upcountry airports administered by the Civil Aviation Authority of Uganda.
The airport is mainly used by small planes flying tourists on a daily basis to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, the southern side of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, as well as connecting onto Queen Elizabeth National Park.[5] As of 2017, the airport does not accommodate international flights. The Civil Aviation Authority of Uganda has hinted on plans of upgrading the Kisoro Airport.[6]
The Kisoro non-directional beacon (Ident: KS) is located on the field.[7]
