About Gardez Airport
Gardez Airport is a small public-use airport serving Gardez, the capital of Paktia Province in southeastern Afghanistan. It provides a local aviation link for the city and surrounding districts and sits at an elevation of about 2,374 meters (7,790 ft) above sea level.
The airfield operates with a single runway and limited terminal infrastructure, supporting domestic and regional flights rather than large-scale international traffic. Its role is primarily local, connecting the Paktia area with other parts of Afghanistan.
The airport is located roughly 4 km from central Gardez and is reached by road. The nearby Gardez–Khost national highway links the area to Khost to the southeast and, in the other direction, toward Kabul, about 100 km to the north.
Facilities are modest and reflect the airport's regional function, so travellers should plan for essential services. For most long-distance arrivals, onward travel through Gardez by car, taxi or pre-arranged transfer is the main practical option.
