About Darwaz Airport
Darwaz Airport is a small airfield serving Darwaz and the wider Darwaz District in Badakhshan Province, northeastern Afghanistan. It sits beside the Panj River, close to the border with Tajikistan, in a remote and mountainous part of the country where air access plays an important role for local travel, private operations and emergency relief.
The airfield has a single gravel runway, 09/27, measuring approximately 654 m by 30 m, and lies at an elevation of about 1,544 m. It is primarily used for private flights and is also used by government agencies for relief purposes, with some domestic connections available.
The airport is located within the Darwaz area, and nearby settlements such as Nusay are around 7 km away. Road access is limited by difficult mountain terrain, so pre-arranged ground transport is the main way to continue to local villages and onward through Badakhshan; the provincial capital, Faizabad, lies a long distance to the southwest.
Travellers should expect a small, basic airport with limited commercial facilities. Planning transfers in advance and confirming flight details with operators is recommended for a smoother journey in this remote region.
